The Asian Games concluded with varied outcomes for participating nations, highlighted by a historic medal count for India and a challenging campaign for Singapore's sailing team. India finished its campaign with a total of 85 medals, comprising 21 gold, 27 silver, and 37 bronze.

India's final tally followed a late surge that transformed the country's standing in the medal table. Earlier in the competition, as recently as Thursday, India had secured only 10 gold medals and was positioned outside the top 10, overcoming earlier disappointments through a strong finish.

In contrast, Singapore's sailing team ended its Asian Games campaign without securing a gold medal for the first time in 24 years. The delegation's sailors finished the competition with a total of four medals, consisting of three silvers and one bronze.
