India's campaign at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games enters another medal-heavy day on Sunday, September 27, with athletics and weightlifting among the central attractions.
The most useful way to follow a multi-sport day is by event rather than by a single television window. Qualification rounds, repechages and finals can overlap, while late schedule changes are possible.
India's main events to watch today
Race walkers Manju Rani and Priyanka Goswami are among the Indian athletes in action, while Harjinder Kaur is listed in the women's 69kg weightlifting competition. Athletics finals add further medal interest as the track-and-field programme gathers pace.
India also remain active across racquet and team sports. Because progression depends on earlier results, the official live schedule is the best source for court assignments and updated start times.
How to plan the day
Japan Standard Time is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of India Standard Time. An event listed for 6pm in Japan begins at 2:30pm IST.
Fans should check three things before an event:
- Whether the listing is a qualification round or medal final.
- Whether the time is shown in JST or automatically converted locally.
- Whether an Indian athlete has advanced from an earlier round.
Where medals can move quickly
Weightlifting can change with every attempt because lifters may alter their declared weights. In athletics, qualification marks do not necessarily predict a final: race tactics, lane draws and recovery time all matter.
Race walking also rewards patience. The leading group can change after penalties, hydration decisions or a late acceleration. Viewers should follow the official result until the competition is formally complete.
Verified schedule, not a fixed promise
This guide reflects the programme available on the morning of September 27. It deliberately avoids presenting an unofficial medal forecast as fact. Weather, appeals and previous-round results can all affect the final order.
