The official athlete list for the 2026 Asian Games has been published on the Games’ website.
The list provides a clearer picture of India’s representation at the upcoming continental event in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
A total of 511 Indian athletes feature on the list across various sports.
The Games are scheduled to take place from September 19 to October 4, 2026.
Indian Athletes Listed in Athletics
Several Indian athletics names feature on the official list.
They include Sindhushree, Harita, Asha, Kartik Karkera, Sawan Barwal, Praveen Kumar and Sanya Yadav.
One name that stands out is Neeraj Chopra.
Chopra remains on the official athlete list despite recent developments surrounding his 2026 season.
His name is still shown as part of India’s Asian Games contingent at this stage.
Yashvir Still Missing
At the same time, Yashvir is notably missing from the list.
This adds another point of interest for Indian athletics fans.
The final composition of the contingent is still taking shape.
The athletics entries are particularly significant for India.
The sport is expected to remain one of the country’s major medal-winning disciplines at the Asian Games.

The team will now look to build on that performance in Aichi-Nagoya.
The official athlete list provides the latest snapshot of India’s participation.
However, changes could still be made before the Games begin.
