Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Highlights: Neeraj Chopra wins silver as Arshad Nadeem storms to gold with record throw

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: India have defended out of their skins here. They even had to defend with a man less with Sukhjeet receiving a green card. Now, we are into the last minute and India are still leading 2-1. You could cut the tension with a knife here.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: How about it. One more quarter to go. They broke a glass ceiling in Tokyo. Now they are within touching distance of breaking another glass ceiling - winning medals at consecutive Olympics. And giving Sreejesh a fitting sendoff.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Well we are starting to see some vintage hockey here from India. Harmanpreet Singh converted a penalty corner early in the third quarter. India are now putting Spain in all kinds of trouble with their skills.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: India wrestled back control and put the Spanish defence under pressure towards the end of that second quarter. They got two late penalty corners, the first one was taken by Amit Rohidas and it was saved on the line. Captain Harmanpreet Singh then scored from the second and India are level going into the half-time break.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Well you would do well to find a bigger shock than this at the Olympics. They have finished a lowly 11th fastest across the heats. This is a team that still hlds the world record of 36.84 that Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt set at the 2012 London Olympics. 100m silver medalist Kishane Thompson anchored their heat this time, but that was still not good enough as they were beaten by China, France and Canada. Incredible.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Well can't really say which team has been better in that first quarter. Not too many chances in it either. Gurjant had copped a nasty blow to the head but he came back on around the 13th minute mark. All square in the first quarter.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Not often do you see the career of one player being so closely tied to an important period in a team's history but that is the case with PR Sreejesh and the Indian hockey team. Today, he will be in goal for the last time for India. His career started amid the rubble of India failing to qualify for the 2008 Olympics, it reached a crescendo with India winning their first Games medal in over a decade. Can he finish it off with another medal, something no Indian hockey player has experienced since the 1972 Olympics? Well, regardless of whether he can do it or not, his legacy as one of the greatest in a country of many greats is etched in stone.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Getting Abakarov in a leg lace and turning him over thrice is what won Aman the bout today. A year ago, Abakarov did exactly the same to beat Aman at the 2023 World Championships.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: The latest chapter in one of the most extraordinary stories to come out of these Olympics is Vinesh Phogat announcing her retirement. It is quite reminiscent of sporting greats announcing retirements after a big shock, only to reverse it later. A good example being Lionel Messi retiring after Argentina lost the 2016 Copa America, only to return and eventually become a two-time winner of the continental tournament and a World Cup winner as well. So, should Vinesh reverse her retirement? She will be 33 when the LA Olympics comes around, which is not young but not too old by any stretch of imagination either.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Aman will face Japan's Rei Higuchi in the men's 57kg semi-final now and that bout will take place at exactly 9.45pm IST. It will be the first of the evening session bouts on Mat B at the Champ-de-Mars Arena. Higuchi won silver in this weight class at the 2016 Rio Olympics and was the 61kg world champion at the 2022 World Championships. In 2023, he won the Worlds silver in 57kg.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Abakarov looks stunned. Aman Shehrawat traps the Albanian in a single-leg takedown and rolls him over THREE TIMES! There was a challenge from Abakarov which delays celebrations for a bit but it is unsuccessful. Incredible from Aman Shehrawat.

AMAN SHEHRAWAT IS THROUGH TO THE MEN'S 57KG SEMI-FINAL. That bout will be around 9.45pm IST today. How about it, are we going to get a medal from wrestling after all? We will have to wait and watch.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Well how about it, Abakarov given a passivity warning and a 30-second countdown. He is not able to score after that period and so Aman gets a point. Then he manages a takedown and that gives him two more points. He leads 3-0 at the mid-bout interval.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Aman is wearing the red singlet for this one. As stated earlier, Abakarov is among the elite in this weight class. It will be a real uphill struggle for Aman but beating Abakarov is not too far above him.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: "As I look around me, I see a nation and its people celebrate your unyielding resolve."

Abhinav Bindra, as always, with all the right words. Vinesh could have joined him in that very exclusive club of Indians who have won an individual gold medal at the Olympics. He says that all of us are learning what it means to never lose the fight in us, even as a loss weighs heavily. "You embody the true spirit of a warrior."

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: There is still approximately 25 minutes to go for that and so we have time to take a look at who he will be facing, Zelimkhan Abakarov of Albania. Abakarov is the 2022 World Champion in men's 57kg and won bronze at the 2023 Worlds. He also won silver in the 2023 European Championships.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: This is wrestling, remember, and there are repechage rounds in this. If Helen Maroulis reaches the final, Anshu has a chance to fight for bronze through the repechage rounds.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Maroulis pulls off a single leg take in a flash after the interval is over and that gives her two points. A roll over comes next and that's two more points for the American. She is just too fast and strong for Anshu, the Indian being completely out-wrestled here.

Anshu then manages to push Maroulis out of bounds and that gives her two points. But it is only a little blip. Maroulis goes for a takedown, Anshu escapes but Maroulis holds and takes her time before deciding to push the Indian out of bounds and take a point. Anshu tries some last ditch attacks but it is too late.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Anshu hasn't really been able to penetrate Maroulis's defence. She has been quite passive thuis far as well and so at the interval, she is yet to get on board and is two points behind.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: All right onto the next bout. Anshu Malik, the 2021 world championsips silver medallist, is facing Helen Louis Maroulis of America. She is incidentally the wrestler that Anshu lost to in the final of the 2021 Worlds.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Aman wraps it up! Beats Egorov 10-0 in quick manner and wins on technical superiority!

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Aman is leading 8-0 now and is dominating! Egorov is trying to defend, but Aman is finding his way to get points to put him in a comfortable position! Aman was in total control, with Egorov failing to defend.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Aman is leading 2-0 and the first period is ongoing in this round of 16 bout! He is up against Egorov!

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 13 Live Updates: Aman will feature in the men's 57kg freestyle round of 16 bout! Meanwhile, Anshu will be in the women's 57kg freestyle round of 16! Both wrestlers' quarters and semis are scheduled for the same day, that is if they progress!
