India, Oct. 4 -- The Asian Games 2026 brought together athletes from across the continent for 15 days of competition in Aichi-Nagoya, with China once again finishing at the top of the medal table. Japan, competing on home soil, took second place, while South Korea completed the top three. India finished fourth with 85 medals, matching its position from the previous edition but with a different story behind its campaign.

The final standings were shaped by the number of gold medals first, followed by silver and bronze if countries were level on golds. India and Uzbekistan, for instance, both finished with 21 gold medals, but India took fourth place because it won more silver medals, 27 to Uzbekistan's 25.
