The 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya have seen notable performances from women's teams across different disciplines. In shooting, a women's team secured a silver medal in the 50m 3P (three-position) event. While the team found success, individual competitors in the same category were unable to secure medals, according to reports from the Hindustan Times.

Separately, the Iranian women's national kabaddi team earned a silver medal. The team reached the final match but ultimately fell to India in a closely contested game that ended with a score of 37–34. The Tehran Times highlighted the narrow margin of the defeat, characterizing the Indian team as a "powerhouse" in the sport.

While the events are distinct, both reports underscore the competitive nature of the women's divisions at this year's games. There is no overlap in the specific sports covered by the two outlets, as one focuses on shooting and the other on kabaddi, reflecting the breadth of the tournament's schedule.
