Tokyo Olympics 2020: 28 July, Day 5 schedule of Indian athletes

Indian athletes endured a mixed outing on the fourth day of Tokyo Olympics 2020 on Tuesday. While boxer Lovlina Borgohain entered the quarter-finals of the women’s welterweight category, the India men’s hockey team eased past Spain 3-0 in a Pool A match on the back of goals from Simranjeet Singh and Rupinder Pal Singh.

However, it was another day to forget for shooting as the pair of Manu Bhaker and Saurabh Chaudhary crashed out of the 10m air pistol event in the qualification stage 2.

The duo of Divyansh Singh Panwar and Elanevil Valarivan finished 12th  in the mixed team air rifle qualification, meaning they would fail to advance further. Anjum Moudgil and Deepak Kumar ended 18th.
