Gooooood Morningggg!!
What a day it has been for India at the Tokyo Olympics so far. It all started with Neeraj Chopra qualifying for the final of Men's Javelin Throw with his very first and only attempt, and the Indians have not put a foot wrong since.
Following Neeraj were the country's wrestlers, two of whom - Ravi Kumar Dahiya and Deepak Punia, have stormed their way into the semifinals of their respective weight divisions. On the other hand, Anshu Malik is still in contention of getting into the repechage bracket.
Overall a brilliant day for India until now, can the only surviving boxer from the country, Lovlina Borgohain, make it even better?
Yes, at least a bronze medal is surely assured for Lovlina. But, can she qualify for the final and become the first Indian boxer to win an Olympic gold or silver?
Stay tuned to find out!
