This was a day when shooter Jitu Rai could have made history but he failed to qualify for 50m pistol final whereas his country mate Prakash Nanjappa also crashed out in qualification round.

Archers Bombayla Devi Laishram and Deepika Kumari shot their way into Round of 16 while boxer Manoj Kumar reached pre-quarters stage of men's light welter 64kg category.

However, it was a bad day for Indian women's hockey as they were thrashed 6-1 by Australia in a group game while judoka Avtar Singh and weightlifter Sathish Sivalingam made early exits from Rio 2016.

Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna's mixed double match was rescheduled for day 6 due to rain interruption.
