Rio de Janeiro, Aug 11: Some of India's best athletes like shuttlers Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth along with boxer Shiva Thapa are going to be in action on Thursday (August 11) to better country's medal prospects in the ongoing Rio Olympics 2016.
India is still desperately waiting for its first ever Olympic medal in the ongoing sporting extravaganza after shooters and weightlifters continued to disappoint.
The only bright spot for India on Wednesday (August 10) was in archery where Bombayla Devi and Deepika Kumari advanced into their respective pre-quarterfinals stage.
Both the female archers displayed some excellent shooting skills to storm into the next round and will be back into action today.
India had a major setback on Wedenesday as shooter Jitu Rai, who finished 12th in the 50 metre Pistol qualification round, failing to reach the final. In the same event, Prakash Nanjappa never really looked in the hunt with a score of 547 to bow out of the competition after finishing 25th.
