Aditi Ashok And Diksha Dagar in golf Round 3 had a poor day slipping to T40 and T42 respectively and they will be back tomorrow for the final stage. The men’s and women’s 4x400m relay teams failed to reach the finals.

The hearing of Vinesh Phogat’s appeal for joint silver at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) is over but there’s no clarity when the verdict will come.

Here’s what will come tomorrow:

I am extremely happy and I cannot explain it in words. This Bronze is also like a Gold medal for us,” says Jyoti, sister of wrestler Aman Sehrawat, on him winning Bronze medal in 57kg wrestling category.

Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar had a poor Round 3 in the women’s golf tournament on Friday. Aditi started at T14 and carded 7-over par to slip down to T40 with a total of 6-over 222.

Diksha also started at T14 and ended on T42 with a total of 7-over 223. She carded 8-over par.

“We have to respect the rules. I’m so sad what happened to her. She was overweight, even though by a small margin but rules are rules. The weigh-in is public and all the athletes are there. It’s impossible to let someone to compete who doesn’t make the weight,” Lalovic said.

On Vinesh getting a silver: “It is impossible because the brackets are changing. Everything is changing. And anyway, the rules are rules. Everybody who goes to these competitions knows they have a second weigh-in the next day.”

AP says an Egyptian Olympic wrestler was arrested Friday in Paris on sexual assault charges.

A 26-year-old athlete was detained early Friday after allegedly groping a woman from behind outside a Paris cafe, according to a statement from the Paris prosecutor’s office.

The office did not name the wrestler but said he was born in Egypt and was in Paris to compete in the Olympics.

The Egyptian wrestling federation did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Diksha Dagar is four-over after eight holes today. Three bogeys and five par attempts from her today and that has taken her down the leaderboard

Aditi Ashok is struggling as well with 4-over after nine holes. Two birdies her positive of the day. A double bogey on the seventh hole not helping her cause

Pakistan’s javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem, who set an Olympic record enroute a gold medal, will be rewarded with a cash prize of 10 crore Pakistani Rupee (~ ₹3.01 crore), Chief Minister of Pakistan’s Punjab province, Maryam Nawaz has announced.

Nawaz also said a sports city named after the athlete would be built in his hometown of Khanewal.
