Paris Olympics 2024 Day 12 : India will be ready for more action on Wednesday following their historic day at the Paris Games on Tuesday, which was both exhilarating and heartbreaking.
In breaking news emerging from Paris from our correspondent Mihir Vasavda, India’s superstar wrestler Vinesh Phogat is set to be disqualified ahead of the final.
Olympics 2024 Day 12 Live: Sports enthusiasts have an action-packed day to look forward to. Indians participate in numbers today with a gold medal match for Vinesh Phogat.
Other key matches athletes in action include Manika Batra table tennis women’s team quarterfinal, Aditi Ashok in golf and Mirabai Chanu in weight lifting.
India faced a massive setback as Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from women’s 50 kg freestyle wrestling, to not contend for gold medal. Phogat was found a few grams overweight. With this Phogat’s hopes of an Olympic medal end.
Antim Panghal and Avinash Sable will also be seen in action today. Priyanka Goswami and Suraj Panwar contend for medal in mixed marathon walk relay.
Vinesh had taken down the invincible defending champion, Japan’s Yui Sasaki, before asserting dominance over her Ukrainian and Cuban opponents in the quarter-final and semi-final respectively on Tuesday. Vinesh had thus become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling final at the Olympics.
Meanwhile, Mirabai Chanu, the 2020 Olympic silver medallist, will compete in the women’s 49kg weightlifting division. The 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist may not be an overwhelming favorite in a contest dominated by China’s Hou Zhihui, the current Olympic champion, after battling multiple fitness concerns since Tokyo 2021.
There will be plenty of Indian athletic activity in the legendary Stade de France. Avinash Sable is scheduled to compete in the 3000m steeplechase final, while Jyothi Yarraji, Praveen Chitravel, Annu Rani, and other athletes will be competing in qualification.
In the afternoon, the Indian women’s table tennis team, which consists of Manika Batra, Archana Kamath, and Sreeja Akula, will play Germany.
