It was another medal-less day for the Indian contingent at the Paris Olympics on Monday, August 5 as Lakshya Sen suffered a defeat in the bronze medal match while mixed team in shooting skeet lost to China with just a one-point difference. Avinash Sable qualified for the men's 3000m steeplechase final while the women's team made it to the quarter-finals in the team table tennis event in some good piece of news for the day as far as Indian contingent is concerned. However, Tuesday, August 6 will be a crucial day as far as India's medal hopes are concerned.

Javelin Throw in athletics gets underway, which has been the most anticipated event for India and the Indian fans, naturally since it brought a Gold for the country three years ago through Neeraj Chopra. Chopra and Kishore Jena will be in action in their respective qualification rounds while the Indian hockey team takes on Germany in the semi-final. It won't be easy, especially as India will miss their best defender and first rusher Amit Rohidas, but wins against Australia and Great Britain on the way to the semis will keep them in good stead.

Take a look at India's full schedule for Day 11 of the Paris Olympics on August 6:

1:50 PM - Kishore Jena in Men's Javelin Throw Round 1, Group A
