That’s the end of Indian action on Day 2
Today is an early day for India- and a slightly disappointing one. The women missed out narrowly on a semi-final spot in the team archery event after leading the race. Dipa has managed to stay in the race, but her Produnova was a bit off on the big occasion. The shooters have disappointed once again. The only encouraging news was the Indian women’s hockey team’s comeback from 0-2 down to draw 2-2 against Japan.
