Bengaluru, July 29: Thursday (July 29) was probably one of the best days for India at the Tokyo Olympics until veteran boxer Mary Kom bowed out of the Games.

While Mary Kom lost her round of 16 women's flyweight bout, shuttler PV Sindhu, boxer Satish Kumar and the men's hockey team booked a quarter-final spot in their respective events at Tokyo 2020.

Archer Atanu Das also progressed to the 1/8 elimination round in men's individual event. Meanwhile, shooter Manu Bhaker and golfer Anirban Lahiri also had a good day at the office.

Now, the attention shifts to Friday (July 30) when Athletics - the track and field events are all set to begin. As far as India are concerned, they will have a sprinter, steeplechaser, hurdler and mixed relay team in action.
