Asian Games 2026 LIVE: Team India faces packed schedule after bagging 8 medals yesterday

For close to four decades, P.T. Usha remained the undisputed queen of the Indian track, no one able to better her in clearing hurdles, both literally and figuratively. On a wet and humid Monday (September 28, 2026) evening at the Asian Games, Vithya Ramraj finally rewrote the 400m hurdles National record and the 28-year-old couldn’t have been happier, or Usha more proud.

Vithya Ramraj shatters pressure to nearly match Usha’s 28-year-old 400m hurdles record at the Asian Games.
