Athletics -
Women's Javelin throw qualification - Annu Rani started off what was a disappointing day for us. She threw a 50m, 51m and 54m throw to finish last in women' Javelin. She has a seasons best of 63m.
Men's Shotput qualification - Tajinder Pal Toor threw a best of 19.99m to not qualify for the finals. As most field athletes this was much below his best of 21.49m.. He didn't even finish in top 12 of his group leave alone top 12 overall..
Hockey -
Indian men lost to Belgium in the semi finals 5-3. Belgium went up early in the first quarter and India quickly equalized and went up 2-1 in the first quarter. In the second quarter Belgium equalized 2-2. 3rd Quarter was only quarter where both teams didn't score and it was 2-2 going into the last quarter. Belgium pressed and we buckled under pressure giving away way too many PCs and Belgium converted one and scored from a stroke also to go 4-2 up with about 7 minutes left. India took off Sreejesh with 3 minutes left to add another player on the field but that was not enough and Belgium used it to score one more goal in the end to win the match 5-3. Disappointing day. Hope we come back to win the Bronze medal match up against Germany who lost to Australia in the other semis 1-3.
Wrestling -
Sonam Malik lost her first match in the round of 16. She was leading 2-0 till the last 30 seconds and lost 2 points and the Mongolian won the match. Since Sonam got her points in 1s and the opponent scored her 2 in one go the victory went to the Mongolian. The hope for repachage went bust as the Mongolian lost the next round match.
