Congratulations to Sakshi for winning India’s first medal at RIO 2016 and adding a new aspect to India’s Olympic journey by being the first Indian women Wrestler to win a medal. It looked like Vinesh was also determined to go all the way but freak injury came her way. This will certainly inspire Babita today to add more to India’s kitty. I mentioned yesterday the key impact of these women wrestlers’ winning feat will probably be a message to Haryana and India’s patriarchal system to allow women to fulfil their dreams. This is not just A medal but a new dimension to India’s Olympic journey. The way Saina and Mary Kom created avenues for Badminton and Women’s Boxing as India’s Olympic glory.

Srikanth played like a champion yesterday and he was shot on shot with the world champion. Till midway last game he was leading Lin D, however LIN used his vast experience to beat Srikanth in the last phase of the match.

Every Indian will be praying for PV Sindhu for her success in QF Sindhu is favourite today but this is Olympics and every athlete comes here to give his/her best. However, I am pretty sure after coming so far Sindhu will not end her RIO campaign without a medal.

It seems India is set to wrap up RIO 2016 with at least 4 medals. 3 from Wrestlers and 1 from Badminton. After so much of disappointment for so many day, it won’t be so bad.
