What is the story about?
The Men's Hockey final was India's last event at the 2026 Asian Games as they finished their campaign in Aichi-Nagoya on a high with a gold medal in the sport.
This marked the 21st gold medal for the country, which was a pivotal one as it ensured they beat Uzbekistan and retained the fourth spot in the standings. While both India and Uzbekistan finished with 21 gold medals, India will finish above them due to a higher count of silver medals. India has a total of 85 medals as they won 27 silver and 38 bronze medals. This is India's joint-third-best finish after also securing 4th in the 2023 edition in Hangzhou. The only instances of the Indian contingent finishing higher in the standings were in the first edition in 1951 at New Delhi and a third-place finish in 1962 at Jakarta. Meanwhile, the tally of 85 medals is the second-best ever, after 106 medals in 2023. In fact, India has won 21 medals, while their count of gold medals has also fallen by six. Athletics (24) and shooting (15) produced the most medals for India, but archery (5) and boxing (3) were the most productive as far as golds are concerned. Meanwhile, the Indian contigent clean sweeped Hockey, Kabaddi, and cricket with a gold in both men and women event. Meanwhile, there was an equal split of 38 medals each by men and women in this edition, while nine medals came in mixed events. Kumkum Mohod (2 golds, 1 silver), Neeru Dhanda (2 golds, 1 silver), Vithya Ramraj (1 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze), Gulveer Singh (2 silver, 1 bronze), and Rudrakansh Patil (2 silver, 1 bronze) were India's most successful athletes in the edition with three medals.
