00:55Well, absolutely.
00:56And that is what we wanted from our athletes in the Asian Games.
01:00I know initial days were not so good for Team India as far as the goals are concerned.
01:04But if you can look, you know, past three or four days, Team India and the athletes especially,
01:09they have, you know, created history by, you know, getting gold in the individual rounds.

01:20But, you know, Kumkum was so focused and so determined to get the gold medal for the nation.
01:24And she did it, you know, in the shoot-off.

01:32the 18th Games.
01:33And since then, there was no gold medal in the individual golf.
01:36So, Pranavi, she made it for India and she won the gold medal in the individual golf event.
01:41So, if you look at the overall medal tally, so we have now 18 gold medals and we have now
01:47at the place, in the medal tally, we are number five right now.
01:52So, it is going to be, you know, a historic day for Team India.
01:55Why am I saying?

02:04go higher.
