India is tracking the Asian Games 2026 medal tally after a standout run in archery. The compound mixed pair of Chikitha and Sahil won gold by beating South Korea in a shoot-off, sealing a quota place for the LA 2028 Olympics, and the compound teams added another gold with a emphatic win over China that equalled a world record. Neeraj also stunned a three-time Olympic champion to reach the recurve individual quarter-finals, while wrestlers and shooters continued India's push on Day 12.

Perfect scores at the Aichi-Nagoya archery competition produced two new compound match world records, according to World Archery. Archers shot flawless matches, setting benchmarks in the compound discipline where perfect 150-point rounds are rare at top-level competition. The marks add to the records list as the event draws international attention to the sport.

India's compound archery teams have swept the team gold medals at the 2026 Asian Games, winning in the men's, women's and mixed team events. The mixed team victory also secured India a quota place for compound archery at the LA 2028 Olympics, where the discipline makes its Games debut. The sweep underlines India's strength in a discipline it has dominated regionally in recent years.
