After the high of Mirabai Chanu winning India’s first medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Day 2 wasn’t as bright for India, with some strong medal contenders finishing with disappointing results. Shooters Manu Bhaker, Divyansh Panwar and Deepak Kumar could not produce the desire results, while the men’s hockey team took a 1-7 drubbing at the hands of Australia. The women’s doubles tennis pair of Sania Mirza and Ankita Raina faced a first-round exit, whereas swimmers Maana Patel and Srihari Nataraj clocked below personal bests.
India did have reasons to cheer as paddler Manika Batra registered his first win, beating World No. 32 Margaryta Pesotska. Mary Kom and PV Sindhu won their respective round of matches in a medal-less day for India. The action now shifts to day 3 where more stars are in line, with Satwik Sairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty up in men’s doubles badminton competition, and the India women’s hockey team takes on Germany and more.
