India enjoyed a major day in para archery at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games, with Harvinder Singh and Vijay Sundi winning gold in the men’s recurve doubles event. The Indian pair defeated China’s Yun Duo and Zhao Lixue 5-1 in the final at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square, according to reporting published after the competition.
Sportstar’s report also highlighted India’s success in the recurve women’s doubles competition. The results added to the Indian para-archery team’s medal campaign at the Games, where athletes have competed across recurve, compound and W1 events.
Harvinder Singh and Vijay Sundi combined to beat the Chinese pair 5-1 in the men’s recurve doubles final. The result gave India another major title for a partnership that had already achieved success on the international para-archery circuit.
Harvinder is a Paralympic champion, and the Indian pair had previously won the men’s recurve doubles title at the World Archery Para Series event in Ahmedabad in September 2026. That victory came against Slovakia, with India winning 6-2 in the final. Their Asian Para Games gold further strengthened the pair’s record in a discipline that requires consistency from both archers across the match.
The final took place at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Japan. India’s win over China was a direct head-to-head result in the gold-medal match, rather than a qualification-round ranking, and secured the top position for the Indian duo in the event.
Sportstar’s report described India’s success in both men’s and women’s recurve doubles at the Games. The women’s pair featured Bhawna and Pooja, who were among the Indian archers listed for the event. Their result formed part of a wider team effort across the para-archery programme.
Reports around the Games have described Indian archers reaching multiple medal matches, including recurve doubles and compound events. Because medal outcomes can differ between qualification, semifinals and finals, the women’s event result should be checked against the official event record before any further detailed scoreline is added to this article.
The men’s gold is significant for India’s para-archery programme because it adds another major international title for Harvinder and Vijay. Repeated success at international events helps build competitive experience ahead of future championships and gives emerging athletes a visible example of performance at the highest level.
The Asian Para Games also bring together athletes across multiple classifications, so team medals contribute to the overall standing of the Indian contingent while reflecting the depth of the national programme. India’s squad list included 11 para archers across recurve, compound and W1 categories, creating opportunities for medals in individual and team events.
Attention now turns to the remaining para-archery results and the final medal standings. The Indian team’s campaign includes individual and team events, and the confirmed results from each final will determine the full tally from the sport.
SportsLine.news will update this report if the official record provides further confirmed details on the women’s recurve doubles final. The men’s result is confirmed in published reports: Harvinder Singh and Vijay Sundi beat China 5-1 to win gold at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games.
