New Delhi: It wasn’t the best of starts for the Indian contingent at the Tokyo Olympics. As always there were a lot of huge expectations from Deepika Kumari, who is ranked at the numero uno position in the rankings. However, Kumari once again seemed to succumb to pressure as she finished at ninth place in the qualifying round. But not all hope is lost as the World Champion will face Karma of Bhutan in the round of 64 in the individual event on 28th July. Thus, Kumari will aim to come up with better performance and turn the tables in the next stage of the competition.

Meanwhile, on Day 2 of the Tokyo Olympics, India’s hockey team, weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, boxer Vikas Krishnan, shuttler Sai Praneeth and Shooter Apurvi Chandela will be in action. Manika Batra, India’s table tennis star will also be in action. Ergo, it will be an action-packed Saturday for the Indian Olympics team.
