India at Olympics schedule for today [August 5]: Ravi Kumar Dahiya, Vinesh Phogat, Deepak Punia, Indian hockey team and more

India’s campaign on Day 13 looks very exciting, as some medal deciding games are to be played today. The Indian contingent will have a packed day of high-octane sporting action at the Olympics.

The spotlight will be on Indian grappler Ravi Kumar Dahiya. The sensational Indian has made his way to the final of the men’s 57 kg freestyle category. His brilliant comeback in the semi-final showed how determined Ravi Kumar is to win a medal for India.

His opponent in the final is a two-time world champion in Zaur Uguev. The Russian is one of the best wrestlers in the 57 kg category, due to his aggressive style on the mat. Their only previous meeting ended in the Russian taking home the win. Ravi Kumar will be determined to draw level and win India’s first gold at Olympics 2021.

Vinesh Phoogat is all set to resume her campaign against Sweden’s Sofia Mattson. The Indian is regarded as one of the medal favorites, but her road to the medal looks a bit tough. However, she is expected to make her way through and script history by winning gold.

Another important fixture for today will be the men’s hockey bronze medal match. The ‘Men in Blue’ are all set to take on Germany in this thrilling encounter. After missing out on a possible gold, the Indians will look to make a strong comeback. 1.3 billion prayers will be with the Indian men’s team as they try to end the nation’s long medal drought in hockey.

The other Indians in action today are Anshu Malik in the repechage round, Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar in the golf stroke play round 2 and the Indian men who compete in the 20 km race-walking event.
