After one of the best days for India at the Tokyo Olympics, where PV Sindhu and Indian men’s hockey team provided reasons to celebrate by their respective feats, there are more reasons to look forward to a new week at the Games.
On Monday, the Indian women’s hockey team will play in their first-ever knockout match at the Olympics when they take on Australia.
Later in the day, Kamalpreet Kaur will be in action in women’s discus throw final aiming to win India’s first-ever medal in track and field. It will be a tall order for Kaur but she could be a surprise package, having impressed in the qualification stage as one of the two throwers to achieve the automatic qualification mark of 64.00. Should she get closer to her personal best, she has an outside chance.
