India had a spectacular day in the Asian Games on Sunday, October 1, winning as many as 15 medals. India started the day after Aditi Ashok won a silver in the women’s individual event in golf. Although she missed out on a gold, the 25-year-old from Bangalore became the first Indian woman to win a medal in golf in the history of the Asian Games.

India extended their tally to 22 in shooting after they won three more medals in the event on Sunday. The trio of Kynan Chenai, Zoravar Singh Sandhu, and Prithviraj Tondaiman won gold in the men’s trap team event. Later in the day, Chenai also clinched the bronze medal in the individual event.

Manisha Keer, Preeti Rajak, and Rajeshwari Kumar helped India win the silver medal in the women’s trap team event. Manisha also advanced to the individual final where she finished last.

India won nine medals in athletics on Sunday. Avinash Sable and Tajinderpal Singh Toor won gold medals in the men’s 3000m steeplechase and men’s shot put respectively. Harmilan Bains, Ajay Kumar, and Murali Sreeshankar clinched the silver medal in women’s 1500m race, men’s 1500m race, and men’s long jump respectively.
