After Mirabai Chanu’s historic silver medal in weightlifting lifted Indian athletes’ spirits on the opening day of the Tokyo Olympics, India look to enhance their medal tally with a number of events lined up on Day 2.

Paddler Manika Batra advanced to the third round. Afterwards, Mary Kom opened her Tokyo 2020 campaign with a round of 32 win in the 51kg category.
India’s disappointment in shooting, however, continued as Manu Bhaker, Yashaswini Deswal and Deepak Kumar, Divyansh Panwar failed to qualify for 10m air pistol of their respective categories. Sania Mirza and Ankita Raina crash out of the women’s doubles after losing 6-0, 6-7(0), 8-10 to the Kichenok twins of Ukraine.
