Sindhu and Atanu were absolutely on point today for India. The Indian shuttler was at her devastating best as she made short work of her dangerous Danish opponent, Mia Blichfeldt. On the other side, Atanu held his nerves against 2012 London Games gold medalist Oh Jin Hyek in a thrilling shoot-off to book his place in the pre-quarterfinals for the 2021 Olympics.

To add to that joy, the Indian women's wrestling team has landed in Tokyo today and are set to start training tomorrow. Vinesh Phogat, also part of the team, had already reached the Games Village on Wednesday as she was traveling from Europe.
