Last checked: October 3, 2026. The medal table is live and can change as events conclude. The Indian Express published the India and overall standings update at 8:01 AM IST on October 3, while Philstar reported the Philippines’ position at 10:22 AM the same day.
China Continues to Lead the Asian Games Medal Table
China remains at the top of the standings with 162 gold, 81 silver and 73 bronze medals, giving it 316 medals overall.
Japan is second with 72 golds, 83 silvers and 85 bronzes, while South Korea is third with 33 golds, 39 silvers and 62 bronzes.
The medal table is generally ordered by gold medals first, followed by silver and bronze when countries have the same number of golds. That means total medal count alone does not determine a country’s position.
India Moves Into 5th Place With 77 Medals
India has made a strong push during the final days of the Games.
The Indian contingent added another gold on October 3 when Kumkum Anil Mohod won the women’s individual recurve archery event. According to Indian Express, her victory also secured a quota for the Los Angeles Olympics.
India’s tally at the latest October 3 update is:
- 17 Gold
- 25 Silver
- 35 Bronze
- 77 Total Medals
This places India fifth, behind Uzbekistan, which has 20 gold medals.
The Olympics.com Asian Games coverage is another useful reference for India’s medal winners, results and competition updates.
India’s Final-Day Schedule
Several major events are scheduled for India on October 3, including the men’s cricket gold-medal match against Pakistan and the men’s hockey final against Malaysia.
Archery is also an important part of India’s schedule, with the men’s individual recurve competition continuing on the final competition day. Olympics.com lists the cricket final and the Olympic-quota implications in hockey and archery among the key events on India’s October 3 schedule.
Because these competitions were still being played when this article was updated, India’s final medal tally and ranking could change later on October 3.
Philippines Asian Games 2026 Medal Tally
The Philippines is currently in 16th place with 28 medals.
Its tally is:
4 Gold + 8 Silver + 16 Bronze = 28 Medals
Philstar’s October 3 update, published at 10:22 AM, confirms that the Philippines was in 16th place with 4 golds, 8 silvers and 16 bronzes. The publication also identifies the official Asian Games results system as its source for the medal standings.
For readers following the Philippines specifically, the official Asian Games medal standings are the best place to check the latest numbers as events continue.
Who Won the Philippines’ Four Gold Medals?
The Philippines’ four gold medals have come from athletes competing in gymnastics, athletics and virtual taekwondo.
The gold-medal winners listed in current Games coverage include:
- Carlos Yulo — Men’s floor exercise
- Carlos Yulo — Men’s vault
- EJ Obiena — Men’s pole vault
- Jeus Gabriel Derick Yape — Mixed individual virtual taekwondo
The Philippines has also collected silver and bronze medals across sports including taekwondo, archery, 3×3 basketball, sepak takraw, athletics, gymnastics and beach volleyball.
However, because the Games are still underway, the Philippines’ final medal count should not be treated as final until all remaining events have concluded.
Why the October 3 Medal Count Matters
One important point when reading Asian Games medal-tally articles is the time of the update.
A medal table published early in the morning can become outdated within a few hours because several finals may take place during the same day. That’s already relevant to India: earlier October 3 reports showed a lower gold-medal total before Kumkum Mohod’s individual recurve victory was added. The newer Indian Express update lists India at 17 golds and 77 total medals.
The same applies to the Philippines. Philstar’s October 3 report explicitly timestamps its tally at 10:22 AM, making the timing clear rather than presenting the number as a final result.
This is why the figures in this article are described as an October 3 update, not the final Asian Games medal table.
What Happens Next?
The medal race is now approaching its conclusion.
China remains firmly at the top, followed by Japan and South Korea. India is currently fifth with 17 gold medals, while Uzbekistan is fourth with 20 golds.
For the Philippines, the latest verified position is 16th with 4 gold, 8 silver and 16 bronze medals.
The Games are scheduled to conclude on October 4, 2026, so the final official medal standings will only be known after the remaining competitions are completed.
Final Takeaway
As of the latest October 3 update, India has 77 medals and sits fifth, while the Philippines has 28 medals and sits 16th.
The most important thing to remember is that these are live standings, not the final results. India’s cricket and hockey finals, along with other remaining events, could add more medals before competition ends.
For the most accurate final numbers, readers should cross-check the official Aichi-Nagoya 2026 results and medal table rather than relying on an earlier screenshot or social-media post.
