 "Asian Games October 4 schedule: India vs Korea in hockey SF, medal events")
In 10 days, India have won 69 medals and assured themselves of at least six more with nearly five days of action yet to come. The medal rush will continue for the Indian contingent when they take the field on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, which will be the 11th day of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Indian men’s hockey team would get one step closer to booking their berth for the Paris Olympics 2024 as they will take on South Korea in the semi-final. India’s star athlete Neeraj Chopra will aim to add to India’s gold medal count when he participates in the men’s Javelin Throw. Indian men’s and women’s 4x400m relay teams will also be favourites to take the yellow metal.
India’s Boxers, who already won three bronze medals would look to go better this time as Lovlina Borgohain and Praveen Hooda play their final and semi-final bouts. Indian archers and Squash players too would look to continue dealing in the good fortunes as well.
