Hangzhou Asian Games 2023 Day 3, Highlights: India add three medals to the tally with historic Gold in equestrian dressage

Asian Games 2023 Day 3 Highlights: It was a mixed day for the Indian contingent at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou on September 26. The highlight of the day was obviously the gold medal won by the equestrian mixed team in dressage. Hriday Chheda, Anush Agarwalla, Divyakriti Singh and Sudipti Hajela top-scored with 209.205 to finish at the top of the podium while China finished second. The other two medals on the day came from sailing with Neha Thakur winning silver and Eabad Ali winning a bronze.

In other events, men's hockey team continued its dominance with a 16-1 win over Singapore. Squash teams won their respective matches. It was a mixed day for India in tennis and wushu. Shooting team of Divyansh Panwar and Ramita Jindal missed out on a bronze but Manu Bhaker began well in 25m pistol shooting in the precision round. The other big disappointment came in volleyball where the men's team lost to Pakistan 0-3 in 5th/6th classification match. That's it for today but shooting, judo and chess medals hopes beckon India on Day 4.
