Kamalpreet Kaur discus throw FINAL LIVE: Scores, updates and commentary from Olympics 2021

That brings us to the end of this LIVE blog!

It was a good performance from the Indian. She made quite a few heads turn with her discus throwing in the qualification rounds. In the finals, the best she could manage was a 63.70m.

The action now goes to Day 11 of the Olympics. India will have a big day tomorrow with the Indian men's hockey team and Lovlina Borgohain in action in the semi-finals of their respective competitions. You catch all the action from the Olympics on Sportskeeda.

Kaur would be rather upset that she could not replicate her personal best throw of 66.59m or better it. A personal best would have sealed a bronze for the Indian. However, she put forth a good contention for her country. She is still new in the circuit and has plenty to learn and improve on. Indian fans would hope that they get to see more of Kaur not only at the Olympics, but at the Asian and Commonwealth Games as well.

Well, that's the end of the discuss throw finals. Kamalpreet Kaur, the first Indian finalist in the event finishes 6th after recording a 63.7m throw. After throwing 63.97m and 64m in the qualifiers, she rose medal hopes among a lot of Indian fans. Her qualification rank was second and she made it to the finals easily.

Today, she started off with a throw of 61.62m and immediately made it to the top 8. Her next throw was a foul which pushed her to 9th. She came back strongly with a 63.7m throw and secured the final 8 spot. In the final 3 rounds, she couldn't better her score and ended in the 6th position.

Steinacker gets another no-throw in the fourth round. Her release is early and the disk hits the net. That was the worst possible way to hit a no throw!

Germany's Steinacker goes first.

The throwers will now take turns in the reverse order. The final three rounds are underway!

Kaur sits in the 6th place with a best of 63.70m. She escapes the threat of elimination but needs to improve considerably to stay in contention for a medal.

With the first 3 rounds done, the throwers in the bottom four positions will be eliminated!
