Hello and welcome to Day 12 live updates of Paris Games
Following an euphoric Tuesday with Indian stars Neeraj Chopra and Vinesh Phogat qualifying to the finals, Day 12 of the Paris Olympics is lined up with several potential headline-making opportunities for the Indian contingents.
Wednesday's games will kick off with a medal match where Suraj Panwar and Priyanka Goswami will be in action in a mixed marathon race walk relay event, followed by Aditi and Diksha Dagar in women's golf stroke play round 1.
On the other hand, the Indian women's table tennis team led by Manika Batra will be up against Germany in the quarter-final. They defeated Romania 3-2 in round of 16, courtesy of Manika's two wins in singles contest.
But the event which the entire country is waiting for with bated breath is the finals of the women’s freestyle wrestling 50kg where ace wrestler Vinesh Phogat will have a faceoff against USA’s Sarah Hildebrandt for gold.
Vinesh is the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the finals at the Olympics with her convincing 5-0 win over Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, 2020 Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Mirabai Chanu will take centre stage in the medal round of the women’s 49kg weightlifting event.
At midnight, Avinash Sable will feature in the finals of the 3000m steeplechase.
