India on Saturday ended its 17th Asian Games
campaign at the eighth spot on the medals
tally, a drop of two positions from the previous
edition of the mega-event which drew to a
close here.
India signed off with 57 medals - 11 gold, 10
silver and 36 bronze. The tally dipped
considerably compared to the 2010 edition in
Guangzhou, China.
In 2010, the country had ended sixth with 65
medals - 14 gold, 17 silver, and 34 bronze.
As expected, China ended its campaign on top
claiming a whopping 342 medals. The Chinese
contingent walked away with 151 gold, 108
silver, and 83 bronze medals.
Hosts South Korea finished a distant second
with 234 medals - 79 gold, 71 silver and 77
bronze. They were followed by the Japanese,
who notched up 200 medals, including 47 gold,
76 silver, and 77 bronze.
Thus, the line-up of top-three remained the
same as the previous edition.
