The Tokyo Olympics has been a bittersweet campaign for the Indian contingent so far. Mirabai Chanu and P.V. Sindhu are the only Indians to have won a medal till day 12, after clinching the silver medal in the women’s weightlifting 49kg category. In doing so, Mirabai became the second-ever Indian weightlifter after Karnam Malleswari to win a coveted Olympic medal.

Sindhu is India’s guiding light in Badminton. The current World No. 7 had a lot of expectations on her shoulders, especially after compatriots Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth’s failure to qualify for the Olympics. She has fulfilled those expectations by winning yet another medal.

The Rio 2016 silver-medalist began her Tokyo 2020 campaign with a dominant 21-7, 21-10 win over Israeli Ksenia Polikapova in her opening match. The 25-year-old had been boosted by the fact that her long-time rival Carolina Marin of Spain had pulled out of the Olympics due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee.

Sindhu won all her matches in the group stage to comfortably cruise through to the knockout rounds. She faced a crushing defeat against Chinese Taipei’s Tai-Tzu Ying in the semi-final clash. However, PV Sindhu defeated China’s He Bingjiao to win the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. With the victory, she also became the first-ever Indian female athlete to win consecutive Olympic medals

However, there have been some disappointing results elsewhere. The Indian shooting contingent has failed to live up to the expectations. The Indian archers have also failed to deliver any medals.

The country still has a chance to win several medals in the upcoming days. Let’s take a look at India’s realistic chances of winning a medal at the Tokyo Olympics, after the conclusion of the tenth day’s action.
