Reetika Hooda is set to represent India in the women's 76kg wrestling event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking the final appearance of an Indian athlete at the games. Hooda aims to contribute to India's medal count and potentially become the second female wrestler to secure an Olympic medal, following in the footsteps of Sakshi Malik's success in Rio 2016.
If Hooda advances to the semi-finals on Saturday, India's presence at the Olympics will extend into the final day on Sunday, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event.
Additionally, Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar will be competing in the women's golf event on Saturday. Despite their efforts, India's chances of medaling in golf have diminished as both Aditi and Diksha have slipped down the rankings as of Friday.
India's schedule for August 10, Saturday:
12:30 PM: Golf - Diksha Dagar and Aditi Ashok in the women's individual stroke play round 4.
Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar have had a rough third day (so far). Can they make up for it in a big way on the fourth (and final) day?
2:30 PM: Wrestling: Reetika Hooda in women's 76kg freestyle
The last Indian in action apart from the golfers.
