Yet, Day 13 of the Olympics brings new hope, particularly towards the end of the day. At 5:30 PM IST, the Indian men’s hockey team will play Spain in the hope of clinching a second successive Olympic bronze medal. Later at night, India’s gold medalist from Tokyo 2020, Neeraj Chopra, will vie for gold again in the men’s javelin throw final.
Golfers Diksha Dagar and Aditi Ashok being India’s action on the day, while sprinter Jyothi Yarraji will be live in the 100m hurdles repechage later. Two wrestlers – Anshu Malik and Aman Sehrawat – will also hope to blur the horrifying memories of the previous few days. (Olympics 2024 Medal Tally | Schedule, Day 13)

Paris Olympic Games Live: Hildebrandt on Vinesh’s DSQ!
“I prepared for chaos, but that was not on my bingo card of chaos. (Vinesh) wasn’t at weigh-ins, so I was in my head like, ‘Oh my gosh, this might be a possibility.’ Then, we get the news that she didn’t make weight, and we were under the impression that it was a forfeit. So, there was a lot of celebrating,” Hildebrandt was quoted as saying by PTI.

Paris Olympic Games Live: Double heartbreak in wrestling!
As the entire India feels heartbroken over Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification, India’s 53kg wrestler Antim also reportedly struggled to meet her weight for the competition and is said to have starved herself for the last two days to make the cut. This drastic measure, however, likely left her with insufficient energy for her bout. She, hence, suffered a 0-10 defeat in the Round of 16.

Paris Olympic Games Live: Will Day 13 End India’s Barren Run?
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Day 13 of India’s campaign at Paris Olympics. It’s been a while since India won those three bronze medals in the Olympic Games. Wrestler Vinesh Phogat seemed to have assured India of a silver medal at least as she qualified for the final but weight issue saw her getting disqualified, dropping down last in the standings. On Thursday, India expect two medals – a bronze from the men’s hockey team and hopefully a gold from Neeraj Chopra in men’s javelin throw final.Â
