But with 6 medals already, including a historic bronze in MMA by Suchika Tariyal, the nation’s showing is quietly impressive. Shooting remains our powerhouse: 5 medals so far, including team silver. The real story? India is 12th overall; without a single gold; but still building momentum. China’s dominance (23 golds!) is real, yes, but India’s consistent podium finishes mean we’re not just participating; we’re competing. The question now: Can silver turn to gold in the coming days? History’s waiting.
