It was another brilliant day at Tokyo Olympics 2020 as Japan overtook USA and China to go at top of the medals tally. While Takanori Nagase won the gold medal in Judo - Men's 81kg for the hosts, the women's softball team also put on a show after defeating USA in the final of the event. The only major disappointment for Japan on Day 4 was the shocking defeat of Naomi Osaka at the hands of Czech's Marketa Vondrousova in the third round.
Talking about India, it was another disappointing day for the contingent in Tokyo. While Manu Bhaker and Saurabh Chaudhary failed to make it to the mixed 10m air pistol final, the badminton duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty also got eliminated despite their win. Sharath Kamal also got knocked out in Round 3 of table tennis men's singles. As a result, India could not add to their only silver medal at the Games won by Mirabai Chanu.
