Day 12 will be important for India at the Olympics. Several big events that can help India increase their medal count are lined up for today. Indian athletes Neeraj Chopra and Shivpal Singh will compete in the qualification round of the javelin throw event. All eyes will be on star thrower Neeraj Chopra. The 23-year-old recorded a stunning career-best of 88.07 meters at the Indian Grand Prix to set a national record.
