Asian Para Games 2026 Sheetal Devi Mona Agarwal para-archery para-shooting

India has achieved a strong start at the 2026 Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, led by record-breaking performances in archery and shooting. Para-archer Sheetal Devi equaled the world record in the women’s compound qualification round with a score of 704 out of 720, also setting a new Asian record. Alongside Devi, Payal Nag performed strongly, helping the Indian women’s compound team top the qualification standings.

In shooting, Mona Agarwal secured India’s first gold medal of the Games in the women’s 10m air rifle SH1 event, setting a new Asian Games record with 250.0 points. She narrowly defeated teammate and defending champion Avani Lekhara, who took the silver.

Other notable achievements include Nishad Kumar winning gold in the men’s T47 long jump with a 7.11m leap, and Rinku Hooda claiming gold in the men’s javelin throw F46. In athletics, Soumya won gold in the women’s 1500m T12/T13 event, while Ajeet Singh Yadav secured silver in the men’s javelin F46. India’s medal tally has been bolstered by successes in para-table tennis, swimming, and judo, as the contingent aims for a significant haul in the ongoing competition.
