Hockey
India clinched the bronze medal in men's hockey at the Paris Olympics, defeating Spain 2-1. Harmanpreet Singh scored twice for India, while PR Sreejesh made crucial saves. This victory marks India's second consecutive Olympic bronze medal in hockey for the first time since 1972.
Wrestling
Aman Sehrawat has dominated his opponents in the early rounds of the men's 57kg freestyle wrestling competition, securing impressive victories. He's now one match away from guaranteeing at least a silver medal for India.
Wrestling
Vinesh Phogat, India's wrestling star, was shockingly disqualified from the 50kg women’s wrestling final just hours before the match due to the fact that she was 100 grams overweight the morning of her bout. Despite a desperate overnight weight loss attempt, she couldn't meet the specified weight limit. The Indian Olympic Association has appealed the decision, but Vinesh has lost the chance to win a medal after making history as the first Indian woman to reach an Olympic wrestling final.
Antim Panghal was defeated in the Round of 16 of the women's 53kg wrestling event by Turkey's Zeynet Yetgil. Her only chance to win a bronze medal now depends on Zeynep reaching the final and Antim winning the repechage round.
Hockey
India's men's hockey team suffered a heartbreaking 2-3 defeat against Germany in the semi-finals of the Paris Olympics. Despite goals from Harmanpreet Singh and Sukhjeet Singh, Germany secured the win with goals from Gonzalo Peillat, Christopher Ruhr, and Marco Miltkau. India will now compete for the bronze medal against Spain.

Aditi Ashok shot an even-par 72 in the first round of the women's golf tournament at the Paris Olympics. Diksha Dagar is currently two under par through 13 holes in her first round. The tournament continues over the next three days, with the top three golfers claiming the podium.
Table tennis

Weightlifting
India's Mirabai Chanu, the reigning Olympic silver medalist, is set to compete in weightlifting at the Paris Olympics.
