The Indian men's hockey team and boxer Lovlina Borgohain were the biggest positives for India at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday. The hockey team beat Spain 3-0 to bounce back from their 7-1 loss against Australia, while Borgohain progressed to the quarterfinals of the welterweight division.
India's shooters had another disappointing day as none of the four teams made the medal matches in the 10m air pistol mixed team or the 10m air rifle mixed team. In table tennis and badminton, Achanta Sharath Kamal and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty, respectively, saw their Tokyo 2020 campaigns come to an end.
Here's a recap of Tuesday's action. And here's Wednesday's preview.
