Bengaluru, August 3: After a disappointing day at the Tokyo Olympics, India will hope for a better outing on Wednesday (August 4), when boxer Lovlina Borgohain hopes to reach gold medal bout and the women's hockey team look to create further history.
While Lovlina, who is assured of a medal - bronze, will look to change that to either silver or gold, the Indian hockey eves, who reached their first ever semifinal in Olympic history, will look to go one step further as they aim for the final berth.
Pugilist Lovlina, who defeated Chinese Taipei's Chen Nien-chin in the quarterfinal, will be seen in women's welterweight semifinal action against world number 2 Busenaz Surmeneli of Turkey. As it stands, she is guaranteed of a bronze medal, but a victory will keep her gold medal hopes alive.
The women's hockey team, who made history by reaching their first ever semifinal after stunning Australia in the quarterfinal, will now face Argentina in the last 4 clash. Victory on Wednesday, will send the Indian eves to the final, where they could face either Netherlands or Great Britain.
