That's the end of Day 11 and it turned out to be yet another disappointing day for Indian athletics at the Tokyo Olympics
In the morning session, we saw Annu Rani getting knocked out from the qualification round of the Women's Javelin Throw.
Whereas in the evening session, it was Tajinderpal Singh Toor in the Men's Shot Put event. What would be disappointing for both the athletes is that they weren't able to hit their personal best performances at the games.
Well, we hope for a better day tomorrow as we have Neeraj Chopra in action for the Men's Javelin Throw qualification round.
Thank you very much for joining in today and we'll see you tomorrow for more live-action.
Goodbye!!
