Nethra Kumanan won the women’s dinghy bronze for India at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on October 2. The Chennai sailor finished with 14 points, behind Thailand’s Sophia Montgomery on five and Singapore’s Jania Ang on 13, according to the Press Trust of India report carried by NDTV.
Her total combined seven points from qualifying with seven from the final races. She won one of the two finals and finished sixth in the other. Sailing rewards the lower cumulative score, so the podium depends on results across the series rather than the winner of just one race.
Outlook’s October 2 profile describes the result as Kumanan’s first Asian Games medal in four appearances. She is a two-time Olympian and became the first Indian woman to qualify for Olympic sailing when she secured her Tokyo place in 2021.
DD India also confirmed the bronze on October 2. Its account referred to a tie-break, while the PTI results report gave the points breakdown. This report does not resolve that difference or add an unverified race-by-race sequence. The confirmed medal is separate from India’s men’s skiff silver and women’s skiff bronze won on October 1.
