The results lifted India’s running total to 45 medals—four gold, 20 silver and 21 bronze—at the end of the results covered here; the Games and the medal table were still continuing.

Murali Sreeshankar won long-jump silver with 8.07 metres before retiring from the event after an injury on his fourth attempt. Gulveer Singh ran a personal-best 3 minutes 37.92 seconds for silver in the men’s 1,500 metres, his second silver of the Games.

Esha Singh scored 38 points to win silver in the women’s 25-metre pistol final. Pincky Balhara completed India’s medal set with bronze in the women’s under-78-kilogram kurash category after reaching the semi-finals.
