A time for introspection: How India fared in week one of Tokyo 2020

The Hindu  

BOXING Even as 23-year-old Lovlina Borgohain made it to the women’s 69kg semifinals to assure India of a boxing medal, some well-known names including the iconic M. C. Mary Kom lost in the preliminary rounds to the utter disappointment of Indian fans. The early exit of six-time world champion and London Olympics bronze medallist Mary, worlds silver medallist Amit Panghal and former worlds bronze medallist Vikas Krishan adversely affected India’s medal chances in Tokyo. Asian champion Pooja Rani lost to Olympic bronze medallist and former world champion Li Qian of China 5-0, while Satish Kumar lost 5-0 to Uzbekistan’s Bakhodir Jalolov in the quarterfinals of the men’s +91kg. B. Sarangi HOCKEY The Indian men’s hockey team, which hasn’t won an Olympic medal since claiming gold at the 1980 Moscow Games, advanced to the semifinals at Tokyo 2020 after defeating Great Britain 3-1 in the quarterfinals. However, the team beat the likes of Spain, Argentina and host Japan in subsequent games to seal second place in pool A and set up a last-eight contest with Great Britain, the third-ranked side from pool B. Drag-flickers Harmanpreet Singh and Rupinder Pal Singh were India’s main men, converting penalty corners and strokes with precision.
