From Chaos To Cheers: Aichi-Nagoya Bows Out, Leaving India With Memories, Medals And A Lesson
Nagoya Asian Games: The buses will stop running, accreditation cards will soon become souvenirs, and athletes rushing through airports will once again replace the colourful chaos of the past two weeks. The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games have come to an end. It was a simple farewell, much like the opening ceremony. There was music, colour, dancing, flags and athletes enjoying perhaps their first opportunity in days to simply breathe and take in what they had achieved. For India, it was a closing night filled with pride. Shooter Neeru Dhanda led the Indian contingent as flagbearer, carrying the Tricolour into the stadium after an exceptional campaign for the country. Yet her presence was just one part of a much bigger Indian story. India finished fourth in the medal table with 85 medals 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze. China dominated the Games, followed by Japan and South Korea, while Indias medal haul once again highlighted its growing presence across a wide range of sports. And some of the loudest celebrations came from a sport that needs little introduction in India cricket. Cricket once again proved that its place in the Asian Games is no longer merely symbolic. Indias mens and womens teams both returned with gold medals. The womens team set the tone, managing the pressure of being among the competitions biggest names and delivering when it mattered. The mens team followed with another gold, bringing Indias cricket campaign to a close with two gold medals. For Indian cricket, these were not just two more medals on a crowded tally. The Asian Games offered another reminder of how far the sport has reached beyond its traditional boundariesand of the weight the Indian jersey carries even outside the worlds biggest cricket tournaments. For some Indian athletes, however, there was no glamour attached to their journey. There were early morning starts, long journeys to venues and hours spent waiting for competition. Some travelled hundreds of kilometres simply to compete for a medal that may never make the front pages. Yet they kept showing up. That perhaps became the defining characteristic of Indias campaign. Archery produced a stunning five gold medals. Boxing added three golds, while wrestling contributed two. Hockey and kabaddi brought the familiar roar of team triumphs, with both mens and womens teams winning gold. Athletics again produced its share of drama, with Indias runners and field athletes battling through pressure and weather to add precious medals. Golf created history too, with Pranavi Urs winning Indias first womens individual Asian Games gold in the sport. Shooting remained one of Indias strongest medal-producing disciplines, while weightlifting, badminton, squash, rowing, table tennis, sailing, wushu, kurash, MMA, soft tennis and other sports also contributed to the final tally. The numbers tell one story. The athletes tell another. Behind Indias 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze medals are stories of athletes who trained for years for a few minutes of competition. Some arrived as favourites and delivered. Others arrived almost unnoticed and left as household names. Japans difficult fortnight Away from the competition venues, Aichi-Nagoya was rarely free from criticism. Transport became a recurring frustration. So did the distances between venues. The absence of a traditional athletes village created its own challenges, while sparse crowds at some events did little to create the atmosphere usually associated with the Asian Games. For journalists, photographers and support staff, travelling between venues sometimes became an event in itself. Japan, a country known for precision and efficiency, was therefore under an unusually bright spotlight. But the Games also showed the other side of the story. Despite the problems, competitions were completed. Athletes competed. Medals were won. Records were broken. And, eventually, the closing ceremony arrived. That is perhaps the fairest way to judge a sporting event. Not everything went according to plan. But the sport survived the imperfections. And in the end, that is what the athletes will remember. Soon, the venues will become quiet again. The banners will come down. The temporary signs will disappear. The medal ceremonies will become photographs on athletes phones. For India, the 85 medals will remain in the record books. But the memories will be more personal. A victory celebrated with teammates. A defeat followed by a hug. A coach wiping away tears. A parent watching nervously from the stands. An athlete hearing the national anthem for the first time. And, on the final evening, a contingent walking together behind the Tricolour. A parent watching nervously from the stands. An athlete hearing the national anthem for the first time. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Motul Grand Prix 2026: Marc Marquez doubles up at Motegi to reel in Jorge Martin
The 2026 Motul Grand Prix of Japan delivered a scintillating double victory for Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team), who battled past title rival Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) on Sunday afternoon to chop the standings lead back down to that ultra-slim margin ahead of a trip to Indonesia. It was the 2024 World Champion, Martin, who collected a vital 20 points to hold onto the title race lead, while teammate Marco Bezzecchi kept his cool under intense late pressure from a charging Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) to pick up a podium. With just two points separating Martin and Marquez, the MotoGP season heads to Indonesia next week for the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, according to a press release from Eurosport. The hot pre-Grand Prix topic: hard rear Michelin, or medium? The answer, across the board, was the recommended hard rear option. Every rider in the same boat.

Marc Marquez doubles up in Japan with race win to reduce championship gap
Digital Desk | Motegi, Oct 4 (IANS) Marc Marquez doubled up at the Motul Grand Prix of Japan with a strong race win on Sunday to slash the championship lead from rival Jorge Martin, who finished second. Marquez got all 37 maximum points in Japan to move to 331 points, just two short of Martin as the championship battle heats up with six more rounds left now. Marquez led Martin to the chequered flag in his Ducati Lenovo Team, 1.363 seconds ahead of Martin in his Aprilia Racing for his fourth Japanese GP win. Marco Bezzecchi in the other Aprilia finished third after fending off compatriot Enea Bastianini with a gap of 0.078 secs. Marquez started the Sunday race from P2 behind Martin but pounced on to a move after 11 laps to take the lead of the race and steadily built on from there for a much-needed win. It was very important to be close to 37 points (for a sprint/Grand Prix double), and we achieved it, so very happy, Marquez said after the race. The race was tough, especially when I was behind Jorge, but I knew that if I was able to lead the race, the pace was good. Jorge tried to attack, but then I increased the pace a bit more, and it was enough to do the last two laps more relaxed, he added. Meanwhile, Trackhouse MotoGP Team riders Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura took fifth and sixth places. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Pedro Acosta was seventh ahead of Ducati Lenovo Team's Francesco Bagnaia, BK8 Gresini Racing's Fermin Aldeguer and Honda HRC Castrol's Luca Marini wrapped up the top 10. There was more joy for Honda HRC Castrol as Somkiat Chantra took 13th for a double-point finish in 13th ahead of Maverick Vinales and Franco Morbidelli, both of whom were the last point scorers in the race.
