Used to medal-less opening days, Chanu’s silver placed India 12th on the tally, a feat achieved for the first time ever. I am really happy on winning silver medal in #Tokyo2020 for my country 🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/gPtdhpA28z — Saikhom Mirabai Chanu July 24, 2021 There could have been more but shooters couldn’t live up to the hype with Saurabh Chaudhary’s top finish in the 10m air pistol qualification being the only high point of the day for the contingent. At the tennis courts, away from the spotlight, Sumit Nagal became only the third Indian to win a men’s singles match at the Games when he edged past Denis Istomin in a three-setter. There were no big surprises when judoka Sushila Devi lost her first round bout and the men’s lightweight double sculls rowers Arvind Singh and Arjun Lal Jat finished fifth in the heats.
