Bengaluru, August 4: Indian wrestlers Ravi Kumar Dahiya and Deepak Punia as well as the men's hockey team will hope to add more medals to India's tally at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday (August 5).
The eight time gold medallists, Indian men's hockey team, who reached their first semi-final at the Olympics since 1980, suffered a 2-5 loss to Belgium in the last 4 clash. And as a result their gold dreams ended and instead they will play Germany in the bronze medal match.
Grappler Ravi Kumar Dahiya keeps India's gold hopes alive as he made an incredible comeback to defeat Kazakhstan's Nurislam Sayanev via fall to reach the final. He will now face Russian Olympic Committee's (ROC) Zavur Uguev in the final and is already assured of a silver medal.
