Neeraj Chopra on the left and Lovlina Borgohain on the right. (Agencies) The track and field contingent has raked in the medals already and on Wednesday there are more at stake. Wrestling action begins as well, with the men’s Greco Roman categories.
We finally get to see the newly crowned World Champion in action. Neeraj Chopra is the reigning gold medallist and will be looking to cap off another memorable season by defending his title. And reportedly, Arshad Nadeem from Pakistan won’t be around to challenge him. While Neeraj headlines the action, there is also Avinash Sable returning for 5000m, eyeing a second gold medal and the men’s 4x400m relay team is also in fray.
It’s been a strange sort of boxing event in Hangzhou (not just for Indians) but Lovlina will have a chance to add some golden gloss to it. Already assured of Paris 2024 birth, the Tokyo bronze medallist will face a tough ask against Tokyo silver medallist Li Qian.
Remember 2018? Well, the men’s hockey team surely do and they will be looking to avoid a similar heartbreak as they take on Korea. Remember, Paris 2024 quota at stake for the gold medall.
PV Sindhu, Srikanth Kidambi, HS Prannoy, Satwik-Chirag and co will be looking to get one step closer to the podium as the matches get tougher too.
