Recommended for Preparatory Grades
Tokyo Olympics
Indian wrestler Ravi Dahiya won a silver medal on Thursday in 57 kg freestyle wrestling. Adding to the winning streak, Bajrang Punia also reached the semifinals of men’s 65kg freestyle wrestling.
Golfer Aditi Ashok is also currently ranked at second place after her stellar (amazing) performance in round 3 of the women’s stroke play.
As India celebrated the win of the silver medal in wrestling, we faced a few losses as well. The Indian women’s hockey team also lost the chance to win the bronze medal to Great Britain. However, they won a lot of hearts with their amazing attempt and received a lot of appreciation.
Moreover, wrestler Deepak Punia lost out on a bronze medal as he lost to Myles Nazim Amine of San Marino. Another wrestler, Seema Bisla, also lost in the round of 16 in women’s 50kg freestyle to Tunisia’s Sarra Hamdi.
