It is going to be an action-packed day for the remainder of Indian contingent with many athletes one win away from achieving glory and increasing the country’s medal tally. Earlier on Friday, Lovlina Borgohain did just that by assuring India of a second medal after winning the quarter-final clash. The Indian women’s hockey team kept their quarter-final hopes alive by beating Ireland 1-0.
Meanwhile, World No. 1 Deepika Kumari’s medal quest for an Olympic medal ended in heartbreak for the third time as she bowed out to Korean top seed An San in straight sets in the quarterfinals. In athletics, Avinash Sable improved his own national record however, missed the 3000m steeplechase final. M.P. Jabir and Dutee Chand also failed to reach 400m Hurdles and 100m final, respectively. And it was all over for Manu Bhaker and Rahi Sarnobat in shooting. The duo are out of medal contention in 25m pistol event.
However, PV Sindhu continues her quest for successive Olympic medals. The badminton ace defeated Akane Yamaguchi of Japan in the women’s singles quarterfinal match.
