New Delhi: India has etched its name in the records of Asian Games history with an astounding performance, securing an incredible 100 medals at the Asian Games 2023. The nation had previously amassed 92 medals at this prestigious continental event, but an additional 9 medals are now confirmed, with only the gold, silver, or bronze distinctions left to be determined. The latest achievements include ace wrestler Sonam Malik's bronze medal in the women's freestyle 62 kg category, followed by Kiran Bishnoi's bronze in women's 76 kg freestyle wrestling.
