Dipanshi, Priya Malik, Sujeet and Rajat Ruhal will all enter the fray in their respective wrestling categories, with the hope of progressing deep into the competition. Archery could provide India with more medal opportunities during the day, with the women’s team and mixed team events both featuring medal contests. Cycling will also have several events to watch, including the men’s Madison final, the concluding stages of the women’s omnium and the men’s keirin. There is plenty to look forward to in the boxing ring as well. India have three fighters competing in gold-medal bouts, with Lovlina Borgohain, Parveen and Ankush all aiming to finish their campaigns with the top prize. The wrestling mat could then become one of the main sources of medals for India in the afternoon.

And then comes the big team event of the day. At 3:30 PM, India’s women’s hockey team will take on China in the final, with a gold medal at stake. It will be one of the most anticipated events on a packed day for the Indian contingent. From the opening events in the morning to the medal contests in the afternoon, October 2 has plenty lined up for India, with athletes across wrestling, boxing, archery, cycling and hockey looking to add to the country’s medal tally.
