New Delhi: India has finally broken their record of the highest number of medals won in one single edition of the Asian Games, i.e. 70, which was set in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games.
India reached the milestone on day 11 of the Asian Games 2023 when the archery duo of Jyothi Surekha Vennam and Ojas Pravin Deotale won the gold medal in the compound archery mixed team event.
The Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi, also congratulated the Indian contingent on their iconic achievement through his post on X (Formerly known as Twitter), saying, “India shines brighter than ever before at the Asian Games! With 71 medals, we are celebrating our best-ever medal tally, a testament to the unparalleled dedication, grit and sporting spirit of our athletes. Every medal highlights a life journey of hard work and passion. A proud moment for the entire nation. Congrats to our athletes.”

India won a total of 12 medals on day 11, including 3 golds, taking their tally of total numbers of medals to 81.
The highlight of the day was India’s ‘Golden Boy,’ Neeraj Chopra, who, despite facing technical issues resulting in his first throw not getting recorded, ended up throwing his season best of 88.88 in his fourth throw, which was more than enough for him to defend his Asian Games gold.
