Day 2 


Archery - We have the women's team event day. We are in the Quarters and will face the winner of France vs Netherlands match at 5:45pm. We will face mostly Korea if we move to the semis that will be at 7:17pm. Can we win our first Archery medal? That has been a wish for quite a few years right from the days of Limba ram

Boxing - Nikhat will take on Germany's Maxi Carina Kloetzer at 3:50pm in the first round match 

Rowing - Panwar will be competing in the repachage rounds.. This is only for finishing order.. medal changes are gone as soon as he finished 4th in his heat

Swimming - Both our swimmers will be in action. Srihari in the 100m Backstroke heats (3:13pm) and the 14 year old Dinidhi in the 200m freestyle (3:30pm). Don't think either will progress beyond the heats. 

Shooting -  Manu Bhaker will be in the finals at 3:30 pm 

We have 10m Air Rifle qualifications for women and men at 12:45 and 2:45 pm respectio- Elavenil, Ramita, Sandeep Singh, Arjun Babuta will be in action

Tennis - Men's Double first round Bopanna and Balaji Sriram vs Edouard Roger & Gael Monfils hich was cancelled yesterday will be played today... Mostly after midnight. Sumit Nagal will take on Corentin Moutet of France at 3:30 pm
