In the 2018 Asian Games, athletics had contributed 20 medals (8 gold, 9 silver, 3 bronze) out of India’s total of 70. Rachna Kumari and Tanya Chaudhary are the two Indians who will feature in the women’s hammer throw final on Friday while Manpreet Kaur and Kiran Baliyan can hope for minor medals if they produce their best. A total of 48 gold medals will be at stake during seven days of competition. Hosts China have topped the athletics medal tally at every Asian Games since 1986.

Both the men’s and women’s squash teams have assured themselves of at least bronze medals and play their semifinal ties.
