Indian shooter Elavenil Valarivan clinched the silver medal in the women's 10-metre air rifle individual event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026. This marks the second silver medal for India at the Games, following the silver won earlier in the women's 10-metre air rifle team event, in which Elavenil was also a member. Leading into the final four shots of the individual contest, she narrowly missed out on the gold medal by the barest of margins. Her achievement follows in the footsteps of her mentor Gagan Narang, who secured two silver medals in both the individual and team events sixteen years ago.

Speaking on 'Doctor vs Internet' with host Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor, renowned cardiologist Dr Ashok Seth addressed the growing incidence of heart disease among Indians at an early age. He explained that South Asians carry a high genetic predisposition coupled with significant visceral fat, elevated LPA levels, diabetes, and hypertension, describing an Indian individual as a "loaded gun" if triggers are activated. Dr Seth emphasized that sudden severe exercise, heavy weightlifting, and smoking—including vaping and passive smoke—can precipitate fatal heart attacks even in normal or mildly blocked arteries. Highlighting the need for preventive healthcare, he recommended lipid profiling by age ten for those with family histories, lifelong LPA testing, and regular monitoring of blood pressure and sugar levels. He also outlined the correct medical technique for measuring blood pressure at home.
