India at Olympics 2021 today (Day 13, 5th August) predictions: Who could win medals?
Indian golfer Aditi Ashok finished second among 60 athletes on Day 1 of the Women's Individual Event. Diksha Dagar, on the other hand, finished 56th in rank. Aditi will look to put her best foot forward and book a berth in the final stage of the event.
Wrestler Ravi Kumar Dahiya will compete in the gold medal match of the men's freestyle 57kg category and is assured of a medal.
Deepak Punia will play a bronze medal bout on Day 13 of the Olympics. He lost to USA's David Taylor, which saw him miss out on a place in the gold medal match. The Indian will surely want to return home with a medal.
Anshu Malik will face a tough challenge on Thursday and is unlikely to do wonders for India. Meanwhile, Vinesh Phogat is in contention to bag a medal for the nation. She's one of the wrestlers to watch out for tomorrow.
Finally, the Indian men's hockey team faces an evenly matched opponent in a bid to clinch a bronze medal for the country. They will lock horns with Germany on Day 13 of the Olympics 2021.
With both sides equally strong on paper, fans can look forward to an exciting contest.
