Indian sports fans received good news from the Asian Cup Cadet and Junior Hong Kong judo events. The media outlets have been receiving consecutive good news about the Indian performers participating in these events.

In a remarkable display, one of the Indian judokas, Yash, bagged a well-deserving gold. He finished in first place in the event. To add to India's medals tally, Shardha also performed brilliantly but missed out on first place and had to settle for second place on the podium, winning a silver medal.

India's formidable yet young duo is now getting congratulated from all across the nation as it celebrates the feat. Their achievement will also help them to be recognised on a massive level as they strive to further enhance their portfolio, taking part in domestic and global events.

Despite small representation, India shone in the Asian Cup Cadet and Junior Hong Kong events, which certainly shows that there is great talent in the country and scope for improvement.
