Earlier, India had won the maximum 70 medals in a single edition of the Asian Games. It took place in Jakarta in 2018. Let us know how India's performance has been in the Asian Games so far.

 

The Asian Games started in 1951. It was held in Delhi and host India won a total of 51 medals. This included 15 gold, 16 silver, and 20 bronze medals. India was second in the medal table. However, after this India had to wait for 31 years to get 50 medals. India won 57 medals including 13 gold in the Asian Games held in New Delhi in 1982. In 1954, India won a total of 17 medals, and in 1958, only 13 medals, whereas in 1951, India won 15 gold.

 

Such an occasion also came in 1990, when India was not even in the top 10 in the medal table. This year also India had only 23 medals. There was only one gold medal in it. India's performance improved from 1998 onwards and in 2006, for the first time, India won more than 50 medals away from home. Since then, India has been winning more than 50 medals continuously. In 2010, India won 65 medals and achieved a new record for the highest number of medals. In 2018, India bettered this and won 70 medals. Now in 2023, India has won more than 71 medals and in many other competitions, players have secured medals by reaching the finals. In such a situation, Indian players will certainly write a new success story. This time, Indian athletes had left for Hangzhou with the slogan of crossing 100 and have made it come true.
