India at Tokyo Olympics Day 11 Results: Kamalpreet Kaur finishes 6th; Women’s hockey team makes history, Shooters crash out; Follow LIVE updates- Day 11 at the Tokyo Olympics was a huge day for the Indian women’s hockey team as they have upset World No. 2 Australia out of the quarterfinals and enter the semi-finals for the first time ever. Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar amassed 1167 (63x) points at an average of 9.725 after shooting 120 shots on the target in three positions while compatriot Sanjeev Rajput gathered 1157 (55x) in the qualifications but it was not good enough to make it to the top-8 players’ final.

Equestrian Fouaad Mirza and his horse Seigneur Medicott finished 23rd in the individual eventing jumping and missed out on a medal in the mega sporting event on Monday.

Athletics @ 7:24 AM: Women’s 200m Round 1, Heat 4 (Dutee Chand)
India at Tokyo Olympics LIVE Day 11: Dutee Chand will be hoping to bounce back after a sub-par showing in the Olympics so far, when she prepares to take off in the Women’s 200m Round 1, Heat 4. Chand was nowhere near her best as she clocked 11.54 seconds in 100m, well outside her national record of 11.17 seconds. The 25-year-old will now look to put the agony behind her and put in a better performance on Monday, at the Olympic Stadium.
Athletics @ 4:30 PM: Women’s discus throw finals (Kamalpreet Kaur)
India at Tokyo Olympics LIVE Day 11: Kamalpreet Kaur lived up to her pre-tournament billing as the athlete from Punjab qualified for the women’s discus throw finals with a monster throw in qualification. She was only the second among 31 athletes to secure direct qualification with a throw of 64m. Kaur is known for her monster throws and had qualified for the Tokyo Olympics with a throw of 65.06 metres during the Athletics Federation Cup earlier this year. The athlete from Punjab put in a career-best performance in the Indian Grand Prix in June, throwing a mammoth 66.59m. The 25-year-old will hope to secure a medal and should she make it to the top 3, Kaur will become the first Indian female to win a medal in athletics at the Olympics.
Hockey @ 8:30 AM: India vs Australia (Women’s hockey quarterfinal)
India at Tokyo Olympics LIVE Day 11: India women’s hockey team has already made history by qualifying for the knockout stages for the first time in history. Playing in just their third Olympics, the Indian eves will hope to mount an unlikely challenge for the podium after coming through a tough group stage. However, they will face a stern test in their first knockout fixture, taking on World No. Australia.
Shooting @ 8:00 AM: Men’s 50m rifle three positions (Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Sanjeev Rajput)
India at Tokyo Olympics LIVE Day 11: Sanjeev Rajput will be competing in his third Olympics, and perhaps his last at the age of 40. The veteran is yet to taste Olympic glory but will have his eyes set on the target when enters the Arena on Monday. Rajput is currently ranked 6th in the World, and won the silver at the 2019 ISSF World Cup. The 40-year-old is consistent but will need to up his game if he has to make the podium at the Tokyo Olympics.
Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar meanwhile is ranked No.2 in the world and is a favourite to finish on the podium. The 20-year-old won the bronze medal in 50-metre rifle three positions at the 2019 Asian Shooting Championships and also finished on the podium in the mixed team event. He also won the gold medal in the 2021 ISSF World Cup and will have high hopes to clinch a podium heading into his Olympics debut.
