Day 12 was a roller-coaster of emotions for Indian fans as Indian athletes secured a fourth medal at the Tokyo Olympics when Ravi Dahiya stormed back to win his semi-final and enter the gold medal bout in the men’s freestyle 57kg category.

Earlier in the day Lovlina Borgohain also confirmed her bronze medal as she lost her semi-final against Busenaz Surmeneli. The Indian women’s hockey team suffered a narrow loss in the semi-final and will play for bronze on Friday.

The Indian men’s hockey team, who lost 2-5 to Belgium on Tuesday, will be aiming to end their campaign on a high by winning the bronze but face a strong German side in the bronze medal playoff on Thursday. A 41-year wait is on the line.
