This is the second silver medal for India in the Games.

Mirabai Chanu had won India’s first medal by clinching silver in the women’s 49 kg weightlifting event on July 31.

Earlier in the day, the men’s hockey team clinched the bronze, putting an end to 41 years of medal drought, by defeating Germany 5-4.
