India Schedule at Asian Games, September 20, 2023: Event Timings and Live Streaming Details
The Asian Games 2023 commenced on September 19 in Hangzhou, China. Sporting events including men’s football and volleyball are scheduled to be played on Tuesday. However, the opening ceremony for the sporting extravaganza will not be held until September 23.
On September 20, the Indian contingent will be competing in sporting events including rowing, sailing, modern pentathlon and men’s volleyball. Ever since the introduction of rowing back in the 1982 Asian Games in Delhi, India has managed to secure 23 medals in the sporting event. This impressive medal tally also includes two golds. India can expect some healthy competition from Chinese rowers at the Asian games.
Sailing made its first appearance in the 1970 Asian Games. Since then, India has managed to accumulate one gold, seven silvers and 12 bronze medals in the competition’s history. It was Farokh Tarapore and Zarir Karanjia who achieved India’s only gold medal in the fireball category at the Asian Games held in 1982.
Mayank Vaibhav Chapheker is the only athlete who has been included in Modern Pentathlon by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) for the Asian Games 2023. Whereas in volleyball, India is set to take on Korea on Wednesday. India has been a regular participant in this particular sporting discipline since 1958. It would be interesting to see if the Men in Blue can secure another podium finish this time.
