Tuesday, day ninth at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics Games saw a rather dull and disappointing start for India. While 19-year-old Sonam Malik lost her first-round freestyle 62kg category bout against Mongolia’s Asian Championship silver medallist Bolortuya Khurelkhuu, Annu Rani could not qualify for the women’s javelin throw final.
The men’s hockey team of India lost 2-5 to world champions Belgium in the last-four stage. India, nonetheless, remained in contention for a bronze in the Tokyo Olympics.
