India at Olympics 2021 today (Day 15, 7th August) predictions: Who could win medals?

Aditi Ashok maintained her second position among 60 golfers at the end of round three. She will look to keep the momentum going in the final round on Saturday and win an unprecedented medal for the country.

Diksha Dagar, on the other hand, hasn’t had a good run in the event. She is tied 51st after round three and will look to finish her campaign on a high.

Bajrang Punia will take on the winner of repechage round one in his bronze medal bout. The Commonwealth and Asian Games champion will hope to produce his best form at the Makuhari Messe Hall on Saturday.

The three-time World Championships medalist won his 1/8 and 1/4 finals bouts, but lost in the semifinal to Azerbaijan's Haji Aliyev.

Neeraj Chopra is another strong contender for a medal. The 23-year-old javelin thrower topped the qualification round and could create history by winning independent India’s first medal in athletics.
