The
draws

Each of the 31 draws India medalled in, golds first, with the full podium — a medal is a result against a field, so the rest of it belongs here too. Indian names are marked.

2025 against 2026

From 7th
to 3rd

India finished 7th on debut in 2025 with a claimed 25 medals, of which the official release itemised only 19 by name. This year the organisers place them 3rd, and every medal below has a name attached to it.

2025 · debut7th8G · 8S · 9B · 25 claimed
2026 · Da Nang3rd6G · 15S · 15B · 32 named

Up 4 places, and 2 golds fewer. The 2025 total is itself disputed — the official release claims 25 while independent counts say 24 — which we set out in full on India’s 2025 medal record. The difference this year is that the names are checkable: every one of them traces to a bracket you can open.

How to read it

Questions

Why does this page count 36 Indian medals when the organisers' table says 32?
Two reasons. Their table counts every medallist, so a doubles pair who won together is two medals there and one here — a pair took one medal between them. And their brackets leave the nationality blank on a lot of rows (188 of the 707 medallists at this Cup have no flag at all), so a count taken from those tables misses Indians it cannot see. Where the same athlete is flagged on another draw, or is named on India's own squad and entry lists, we restore it.
Is this every Indian medal at the World Cup?
It is a floor, not a ceiling. Where a bracket row carries no flag and the athlete appears nowhere else we can check, we leave the flag blank rather than guess from a name — so a few Indian medals are almost certainly still missing. The national-team competition is absent entirely, because the organisers publish no bracket for it. If you can see a name that should be here, tell us and we will check it against the draw.
How do you decide someone is Indian?
From the brackets' own flag, first. Where a row is blank, from the same athlete's flag on another draw in the same tournament, or from India's published squad and entry lists — matched on the whole name, exactly. Never from what a name looks like: no fuzzy matching and no surname guessing, either of which would put the wrong flag beside a real person.
Are the names spelled the way the organisers have them?
Spellings are exactly as the brackets publish them — we never correct a spelling, because that would mean editing someone's name on a guess. Capitalisation is the one thing we normalise: entrants typed their own names and plenty arrived in full caps or all lower case. A name that already mixes cases, like DeHeart or Van Reek, is left exactly as written.
Why do some events show two bronze medallists?
Where a division has no third-place playoff, both losing semi-finalists are placed third — the organisers' own rule. Divisions run as a round robin have no final at all; there, first, second and third come from the division's own standings table.

Names and spellings are as published by the organisers, with only capitalisation normalised. Medals are counted per medallist, so a winning pair is two. Figures read 6 September at 11:46 am IST, while the last finals were still being played.
