India's Schedule at Paris Olympics 2024 Today: The performance of the Indian athletes on August 6 is something which will not be forgotten in a very long time to come. Vinesh Phogat and Neeraj Chopra's performances were the highlights of what was a memorable day for the Indian contingent. India did not have a great start to the day, with the men's table tennis team bowing out in the round of 16 stage with a loss to China. Kishore Jena, competing in his maiden Olympics, unfortunately, failed to make the cut for the men's javelin throw final. Neeraj Chopra, the defending champion from Tokyo, however, delivered to his expectations, pulling off a sensational 89.34m throw to make it to the final with just his first attempt. Later in the day, Vinesh Phogat gave plenty to cheer about after she trumped top wrestlers and made it to the final, a first for an Indian woman.

However, India's dreams of a gold medal in hockey came to an end after the men's team lost to Germany 2-3 in a thrilling semifinal. They still have a podium when they face Spain in the bronze medal. There's plenty to look forward to on August 7. Vinesh Phogat's final in women's wrestling 50 kg is one of the biggest attractions as she aims to win an elusive gold medal in wrestling. The Indian women's table tennis team also will be in action in the quarterfinals. Also, Mirabai Chanu, who had won silver in Tokyo 2020, is set to be in action.
