इस बार ओलंपिक्स में भारत के अब तक के सबसे अधिक खिलाड़ियों ने क्वालीफाई किया है।

याद रहे ये 100 साल की सबसे बड़ी आपदा से जूझते हुए किया है।

कई तो ऐसे खेल हैं जिनमें हमने पहली बार क्वालीफाई किया है।

सिर्फ क्वालीफाई ही नहीं किया बल्कि कड़ी टक्कर भी दे रहे हैं: PM @narendramodi

India have so far claimed two medals, while being confirmed one more. While weightlifter Mirabai Chanu claimed a historic silver medal in the 49 kg category on the opening day of the competiton, ace shuttler PV Sindhu won bronze in the women’s singles category, beating He Bing Jiao of China in the third-place match. Meanwhile, the India women’s hockey team that had lost the opening three games of the Olympics campaign, bounced back to beat Ireland and South Africa in the group stage, and later beat World No 2 Australia in the quarter-finals. They will meet Argentina in their first-ever Olympic semi-final on Wednesday. However, early on Tuesday, the India men’s hockey team went down 2-5 in the semi-final against Belgium, meaning that they would hope for at least a bronze in the third-place match. Boxer Lovlina Borgohain is also assured of a medal after she reached the semi-finals of the women’s welterweight category. She will fight her last-four bout on Wednesday.
