Indian athletes had a rollercoaster experience at the ongoing Olympic Games. Neeraj Chopra, despite his best efforts, secured a silver medal in the men's javelin throw, with Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem taking gold and setting a new Olympic record.

The Indian men's hockey team claimed a bronze by defeating Spain 2-1. Skipper Harmanpreet Singh was instrumental, scoring two goals, while Sreejesh showed remarkable defense skills, contributing significantly to the win.

However, wrestler Vinesh Phogat faced disqualification due to a minor weight excess, leading to her retirement announcement. Meanwhile, young wrestler Aman Sehrawat will compete for a bronze, and Indian golfers Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar remain in contention.
