Sumit wins the gold ... Second gold for the day. 

[bharathh]

Sandeep misses out on the podium in 4th place. Second 4th position for India today :(

[bharathh]

Big day for SL as well! 1 Gold and a bronze. Don't think they've ever won 2 medals in an Olympics - let alone on one day!

[bharathh]

We won more medals today than we have won in an entire Olympics combined! 

[ShoonyaSifar]

3 World Records in the finals by Sumit! He deserves 4x the rewards, one for the Gold medal and another three for setting three new WRs. What an incredible achievement.

[bharathh]

India moves to the top 25 in the medals table - ahead of Germany and NZ. 

 

Our paralympians are doing us proud!

Thankfully these super humans get same rewards as our Summer Olympians.

 

How lovely and inspirational it will be to have Avani as the brand ambassador of leading brands. I do hope the leading brand managers shed their fixation with bollywoodias and cricketers.

 

Thats good to know.But clearly the reaction hasn't been as good as for Olympics gold,which is probably good seeing what they did to Neeraj

After the amazing high from yesterday - today looks rather bleak in terms of medal prospects. Archery continues to disappoint. TT women's team got obliterated by the Chinese in the quarters. Women's shot put lady in 4th place. Shooter Rubina finishes 7th in the finals. 

 

1 more trio of shooters could make the finals of the Air Pistol - but don't look in great form. Best bet for a medal is in the high jump in the evening session of Athletics.

2 shooters make it to the mens air pistol SH1 final. (they can stand and support the gun on their own). Manish Narwal qualified in first place. Hopefully he takes his form to the finals.

[bharathh]

Looks like a bronze finish for Singhraj. 

 

Manish finishes 7th

First medal of the day - bronze for Singhraj in Shooting.

Haryana has announced the same rewards as it did for Neeraj - a cash award of 6 crores. Avani will get 3 crs from Rajasthan govt. Expect more rewards to flow for Avani and Sumit when they return.

Meiyappan Thangavelu and Sharad Kumar are in medal positions in the high jump. Maiyappan in Gold and Sharad in Silver tied with an American with one jump left.

Sharad ends up with the bronze. Meiyappan and the American battle for Gold
