Paris Olympics LIVE: In an unfortunate turn of events, India’s gold medal hope in wrestling, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the tournament on account of being overweight. If that wasn’t enough, India’s another hope, Antim Panghal lost her opening round match in the women’s 53 kg. The day also ended on a disappointing note as Mirabai Chanu failed to bag a medal in the women’s 49 kg weightlifting.

And that is not all, Antim Phangal will compete in the Women’s Freestyle 53kg quarters and semis should she progresses. Meanwhile ace putter Aditi Ashok will also be in action. India women’s table tennis team will take on Germany in the semifinals while Avinash Sable will compete in the Men’s 3000m Steeplechase Final.
