The campaign in Aichi-Nagoya was a mixed bag, with some promising results giving way to disappointing ones. However, a strong performance towards the end turned the tide of the campaign.

Medal rush on last three days

The credit for the medals India secured in the final stages goes largely to the performance of athletes towards the business end of the competition. Until Thursday, India was outside the top 10 in the medal tally, with only 10 gold medals. However, in the last two days, the hockey and cricket teams added to the gold medal count, while India also performed well in archery, boxing, and wrestling. This late surge added another 11 gold medals and propelled India into the top five, giving the campaign a much-needed boost before the conclusion of the Games.
