Asian Games 2026 Day 7: Kamaljeet-Suruchi win gold, Baranica claims historic bronze; India's medal tally rises to 23

India wrap up the day with six medals, taking their overall tally to 23. Kamaljeet-Suruchi Singh claimed gold, the shooters and Gulveer Singh added silvers, while Manush Shah-Diya Chitale, Manpreet Kaur and Baranica Elangovan won bronze. Baranica's pole vault medal also marked a historic first for India.

Damneet Singh and Praveen Kumar are out of the men's hammer throw.

Brilliant run from Vishal Thennarasu. He finishes first and gets direct automatic qualification. He stay in contention for the medal.

In her 400m heat Prachi finishes third. So, no automatic qualification for her. But her timing is brilliant and she could qualify through best timing.

Kiran for India finishes second and she takes automatic qualification.

The position has been resolved. The Indian athlete gets the bronze. Ivanova had more failed attempts overall, so Baranica Elangovan gets the bronze. Historic one for India, she is the first Indian athlete to win one in this event.

There is drama in the women's pole vault medal battle. China's Niu Chunge and Japan's Misaki Morota have moved beyond 4.25m, but India's Baranica Elangovan and Kazakhstan's Polina Ivanova remain completely tied. Both have a best clearance of 4.15m, identical attempts at each height and the same number of failures at 4.25m. That leaves the bronze medal situation unresolved for now, with either a jump-off for a shared medal possible.

Baranica attempting 4.25m for the third time. But she fails, now she has to hope that Polyna Ivanova does clear the height, so that she gets the bronze.

What a run!!!!!! Gulveer Singh did his best. But Balew increased his pace in the end. But Gulveer gets the silver. Another medal for India.

Praveen Kumar takes his first attempt. He gets around 65m. We will confirm the numbers soon. It is 65.24m.

She clears it this time. In her second attempt Baranica clears 4.15m quite comfortably. India's challenge lives on.

This time she attempts 4.15m. A good rise but her feet touches the bar during the descent.

A good first attempt. He gets 67.56m, a good one to start the event.

Hammer throw is all set to start. Damneet Singh carrying Indian hopes in the event.

Baranica clears 4.00m in her second attempt. She has looked comfortable with both her attempts. She might look to go for 4.20m in her next attempt.

A frustrating outing for Sindhusree Ganesha. The Indian skipped the opening two heights before failing twice at 3.85m, and then moved straight to 4.00m for her final attempt, where was unsuccessful again

What will sting is that Sindhusree appeared to have the height on her attempts. She cleared the bar comfortably, but released the pole too late and ended up knocking the bar down with her hads on the descent. That brings her campaign to an early end.

Gulveer Singh read to start his 10,000m. A lot of expectation on him to deliver the third gold.

Sindhusree fails to clear the 3.85m height in her second attempt. She has one more attempt now.

Pooja and Anamika produced a strong finish in the heptathlon 800m, placing second and third respectively and collecting 873 and 850 points. But the late surge was not enough to significantly alter the overall standings, with Pooja finishing sixth and Anamika eighth in the heptathlon.

Baranica clears 3.85m quite comfortably in her first attempt. Brilliant from the Indian athlete.

She attempts 3.85m, but she fails to clear it in her first try.

Manpreet Kaur's last throw gets disqualified, but it does not matter. She has secured the bronze for India. Brilliant job, as she celebrates with the Tri-colour.

Kujur finishes last. He too gets eliminated from the semifinals. India's hopes end with that in the men's 100m sprint.

Gurindervir Singh has been eliminated. Now, Animesh Kujur will be in action looking to seal a spot in the final.

Manpreet Kaur has bettered her best throw. She has got 17.17m, she holds the third position and keeps India's hopes alive for another medal.
