India’s Ashok wins the silver medal in the men’s 65kg powerlifting event at the Asian Para Games 2026 on Tuesday. He lifts 192kg to finish second, behind China’s Zou Yi, the reigning Paralympic champion, who wins gold with a 216kg lift. Indonesia’s Margono takes bronze after lifting 177kg.
Reports also describe Ashok’s attempts. He opens with a successful 187kg lift, then records 192kg in his second attempt to secure silver. He fails to lift 201kg in his final attempt. The event is a bench-press powerlifting competition, with athletes in different weight categories and impairments affecting the hips or legs.
While the outlets differ slightly in framing, they agree on the medal positions and the key lift totals for Ashok, Zou Yi, and Margono at the Nagoya Games.
