The day 11 at Rio Olympics 2016 will have plenty of medals on the line in different sporting categories. While the countries like USA, China, Japan, Australia and South Korea have bagged plenty of medals already, world’s seventh largest nation India, which has arrived in the Rio with its largest ever Olympics contingent, still await to open the account.
India, yet to win any medal in Rio games, have more or less lost all their major hopes of winning a medal. All the big names, including the likes of Sania Mirza, Abhinav Bindra, Dipa Karmakar, Saina Nehwal, Leander Paes, Bombayla Devi, Deepika Kumari, Jeetu Rai, Manoj Kumar, Vikas Krishnan, Gagan Narang et al have been knocked out. The hockey team, which has earned maximum gold medals for the country in the glorious era in the past, too has crashed out.
The only hopes that remain now are from badminton players PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth, former of whom will play her semi-final game in women’s singles on day 11. The events will be telecast live on Star Sports Network in India and streaming will available on Hotstar.
