After a historic second day of the Olympics where India started its campaign with a silver from 26-year-old Mirabai Chanu in 49 kg women’s weightlifting, Indian athletes will be raring to count on more medals when they compete on the official third day of the Tokyo Olympics. After disappointing start in the shooting range, women’s pistol event will feature Manu Bhaker and Yashaswini Deshwal while Deepak Kumar and Divyansh Singh Panwar will compete in 10m air rifle event, the same event where hobby shooter Abhinav Bindra won a gold for India in Beijing.
