So far, India has only faced disappointment in Paris Olympics 2024. It seems difficult for India to get 7 medals in Paris on the lines of Tokyo. 12 days of Olympics 2024 are over and India’s challenges are also ending one by one but the country has got only 3 medals so far and that too bronze. In such a situation, India’s last hope is from Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Neeraj Chopra and the Indian hockey team. On August 8, while Neeraj Chopra will defend his gold in the javelin throw event, the Indian hockey team will face Spain for the bronze medal.
In this Olympics, India has faced disappointments ranging from Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification to Mirabai Chanu losing the medal. But now all eyes will be on two events on the 13th day of the Paris Olympics, one being Neeraj Chopra’s javelin throw event where he is expected to win the gold medal again, and the other being the hockey bronze medal match where the Indian team will face Spain.
Indian hockey team is expected to win bronze
After losing 3-2 to Germany in the semi-final match, the Indian hockey team’s dream of winning gold was shattered. But they can still get the bronze medal for the country. Till now the hockey team has been performing well. Due to which it is being speculated that the team will make a great comeback for the bronze medal. The hockey match will start at 5.30 pm today.
Neeraj Chopra will defend the gold
On the other hand, the whole country is hoping for a gold medal from Golden Boy Neeraj Chopra. However, this time the challenge is very difficult for him. Earlier in the qualification round, Neeraj had already qualified for the final in the first throw. His match will now start at 11:55 tonight.
