Day 2 Summary (India’s performance) and Day 3 schedule of Indian Athletes in Action

On the third day of the Olympics, India has done reasonably well and of course there are disappointments. But nevertheless the performance needs to be appreciated. Let us first go through the results as mentioned below.

 Archery: Heartbreak after Valor

Deepika Kumari, Bombayla Devi and Laxmirani Majhi: Women’s Team event: Lost to Russia in Quarter Finals. Actually Indian Ladies did exceedingly well just to get eliminated in the tie breaker. Nevertheless this is one of the performance to be noted as the individual events are yet to happen and all three ladies are still in Fray.

Hockey: You score we also Score

Indian women’s Hockey team took on Japan in the First group game. Japan took 2-0 lead but the possession and attacks were always from India. At right time Rani pulled one back in 3^rd quarter and from there in just 8 minutes Lilima scored to make it even and earn a point. For Indian Hockey there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Gymnastics Artistic: Prodigy

Dipa Karmakar has qualified for the Vault Finals (a Feat no Indian has managed till date). Of course she was unable to progress in Individual All round, but performing in Vault is a rare feat and she did the same with amazing effort. Hope She does well in the Finals.
