After Mirabai Chanu won a silver medal for India on Day 1 of the Tokyo Olympics, most of the country's Olympians disappointed on Day 2 by failing to add to that tally. The women's 10m air pistol and men's 10m air rifle were the only two medal events where India participated. However, none of the shooters progressed to the finals.
It was not all gloom for India as Olympic medallists PV Sindhu and Mary Kom got off to a winning start. However, the road for many first-time Olympians like Pranati Nayak, Ankita Raina, Manish Kaushik, Maana Patel, and Srihari Nataraj, among others, has unfortunately come to an end.
So, how did India fare overall on the second day of the Tokyo Olympics, and where do they stand in the medal's tally? Let's find out.
