Saturday was a mixed bag for India. Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu won India’s first medal of the day when she won a silver medal in the women’s 49kg category in weightlifting. However, the rest of the day could have been better.
India could have done better in certain events but ended up falling short. This was evident at the beginning of the Day when the women s 10m air rifle shooters from India got knocked out before the final.
The archery mixed team also suffered some disappointment. However, Chanu’s medal made up for that in a big way.
Sunday offers India at least two chances to add to their medal tally. But a number of athletes who will be hopeful of winning medals also start their campaigns on the day.
