After a thrilling opening day of action in Tokyo, the stage was set for Day 2 of the Summer Games in the capital of Japan. All the eyes were on USA who failed to win a single medal on Saturday. With swimming finals scheduled for Sunday, it was always going to be an action packed day. And the drama did unfold as Tunisia's Ahmed Hafnaoui clinched a historic gold medal in the men's 400m freestyle event against all odds.
Despite a slight setback in swimming, USA did have a good outing in Tokyo as they bagged 10 medals (4 Gold, 2 Silver, 4 Bronze) on Sunday. Meanwhile, China continued their dominance in the Games and retained their spot at top of the standings. India's only major hope for the medal on Day 2 was from shooting sensation Manu Bhaker who unfortunately got eliminated in the women's 10m air pistol qualifying round.
With no medal to their name on Sunday, India fell down from 12th to 24th position in the medal tally.
