Asian Games 2023 India results on Day 9: Women's steeplechasers achieve double podium, Ancy Sojan bags silver in long jump
India's march in the Asian Games 2023 continued in full swing on Day 9 with another double podium finish. Parul Chaudhary and Preeti Lamba finished second and third in the women's 3000m steeplechase for silver and bronze medals respectively.
This was the first instance of two Indians finishing at the podium in any steeplechase event, either men's or women's, since the event first took place in 2010 in Guangzhou.
Ancy Sojan won the silver in the women's long jump final with her best jump of 6.63m while compatriot Shaili Singh finished in fifth place with 6.48m.
Vithya Ramraj equalled PT Usha's national record of 55.42 seconds during her 400m hurdles race to qualify for the final. The 4 x 400m mixed relay team clinched the silver medal though the team finished third, but Sri Lanka's disqualification because of lane infringement upgraded India's medal. Muhammed Ajmal, Vithya Ramraj, Rajesh Ramesh, and Subha Venkatesan clocked a combined 3:14.34s.
Ayhika Mukherjee and Sutirtha Mukherjee lost the women's doubles semi-final to the North Korean pair of Sugyong Pak and Suyog Cha in a seven-game grueling contest to settle for a bronze medal, which is India's lone achievement in table tennis in this edition of Asian Games.
The Indian women's team were held to a draw by Chinese Taipei 34-34 in the opening game of kabaddi in the Asian Games 2023. Meanwhile, the Indian men's hockey team continued to rattle their opponents in the preliminary group stage with another 12-0 crushing win over Bangladesh to top Pool A.
