Meanwhile, here's what India's top 10 medal hopes are up to and here's our feature on Aman Sehrawat, the only Indian male wrestler to qualify for the Paris Games - Path to Paris: After takedown of his idol, Aman Sehrawat wants his Olympic medal


What happened yesterday?

  • Olympics: PV Sindhu to be flag bearer alongside Sharath Kamal. IOA had named Kamal as flag bearer in March but delayed the decision on picking the female athlete. Mary Kom and former hockey skipper Manpreet Singh were India's flag bearers at the Tokyo Olympics.

  • Olympics: Meanwhile, London Olympics bronze medallist shooter Gagan Narang on Monday replaced Mary Kom as India's Chef-de-Mission. IOA president PT Usha said the 41-year-old Narang's elevation from deputy CDM's position was an automatic choice in the wake of Mary Kom's resignation.
