PV Sindhu
Day 1 at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics witnessed two extreme emotions in the Indian dugout. While on one hand, weightlifter Mirabai Chanu grabbed a historic silver for India on Saturday morning in the women's 49 kg category to open the nation's account in the summer Olympics, inconsistent show by the archers in the mixed event, and a disappointment for Saurabh Chaudhury in 10m air pistol final, saw India lose two medal opportunities.
Shooting will continue to hold high expectation on Sunday where India have as many as three events with Manu Bhaker being the cynosure. Meanwhile, Rio Olympics silver medallist PV Sindhu will open her campaign against Ksenia Polikarpova of Israel on Sunday morning and boxing legend MC Mary Kom will be up against Miguelina Garcia of the Dominican Republic in the women's flyweight (48-51kg) category in the round of 32.
