There was not much to talk about the other events of the track and field. Bangladeshi sprinter Shirin Akhter came seventh in women's 200 metres sprint. In the men's 200 metres, Bangladeshi sprinter Saiful Islam, also came seventh. The gold medals of these events went to Archana Sushatnta of India and Uzair Rahman of Pakistan, respectively.  

A silver and an unexpected accident in Karate

Bangladesh were favourites to win the gold medal in women's team Kumite Karate category, as on the previous day Bangladeshi athletes secured two gold medals. But, on Wednesday, Bangladesh lost one of their best players, Marzan Akhter, through a freak accident.

They won their match against Sri Lanka by 2-1 points to reach the final. Marzan was injured during the match as she was hit by the opponent. Without an injured Marzan, they lost the gold medal match by the same margin, and had to be satisfied with silver. Nayeema Khatun replaced Marzan in the final bout.  Bangladesh men's team won bronze in the Kumite category.

In individual Kumite, Bangladesh's Sabuj Mia won a bronze in men's -50kg category. In women's +68kg category, Abida Sultana picked up another bronze.

Meanwhile, Marzan was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. After scanning and checkup she was released from the hospital.

The same honour was achieved by Rita Biswas in -60kg and Basona Khandker in -70kg. Milon Hossain and Rakib Khondokar also won bronze in the -60kg and -65kg respectively. Also, Rubel Khan ensured bronze in -80kg Sanda category whereas Selim Ahmed won it in the -75kg category.
