Tokyo Olympics : Day-12: A disappointing day for India in Tokyo

Tajinderpal Singh Toor failed to qualify for the final of men's shot put and left the arena with one legal throw of 19.99 meters. The automatic qualification mark was at 21.20m. He fouled his next two attempts and bowed out. Tajinder finished 13th in his Group A which had 16 competitors. It was a day of huge disappointment for India after its men’s hockey team’s dream of Olympic gold after 41 years remained unfulfilled as it lost 2-5 to world champions Belgium in the last-four stage. However, India will now play Germany for a bronze medal as they lost to Germany in their semi-final match. In the women’s javelin throw event, India’s Annu Rani’s campaign ended as she finished 14th out off 15 in Group A qualification with the best attempt of 54.04 metres. Her personal best was 63.24 metres but could not improve any further. In wrestling, India began their campaign on a poor note with Sonam Malik losing her bout 2-2 against Mongolia’s Bolortuya Khurelkhuu in the round of 16 of the women’s 62kg freestyle category. Sonam squandered her 2-0 lead as the Mongolian wrestler levelled the score 2-2 and won the match by winning the last point.
