India at Rio - What to look forward today - August 19th

Golf : Day 3 of the golf event - Aditi Ashok is currently in the tied 8th position. She had a very good second day. Starts at 4pm IST

Wrestling : Sandeep Tomar is in the 57kg Freestyle wrestling. He starts his campaign against Victor Lebedev of Russia in the pre-quarters. We also had Narsingh Yadav in the 74kg category but because of the 4 year ban. Starts at 6:30pm ist

Athletics : 4*400 Relay for both men and women - The heats are at 5:10 am for Women and 5:40am for men. The men's team has the 3rd fastest time this year, hope at least they carry the qualification time into the olympics.  We have Sandeep Kumar in the Men's 50km walk, which starts at 4:30pm IST and we have Kushbir Kaur and Sapana in the women's 20km walk which starts at 11pm IST. 

Best result would be for the relay teams both men and women to qualify for the finals and the Walkers finishing in the top 20. 

Badminton : Sindhu plays her finals today against World # 1 Carolina Marin. Carolina has been phenomenal form last 2 years or so. Sindhu is also playing beautifully the whole tournament. Hope she joins Abhinav Bindra as the second Indian to win an Individual Gold. Let's Go Girl.. #GoForGoldSindhu Match starts at 6:55pm ist
