Aditi Ashok vows to be back after finishing T-29
Aditi Ashok did not come anywhere close to a medal as she did three years back in Tokyo, but the 26-year-old displayed her best game on the final day of the women’s golf competition, firing seven birdies to finish tied-29th. Aditi, who had finished fourth at the Tokyo Olympics, shot a 4-under 68 in the 60-player field at the challenging Le Golf National. Aditi tallied 2-over 290, which was a far cry from the 15-under she carded in Tokyo. Diksha Dagar had another forgettable day after the 80 in the third round as she shot a 78 to finish with a total of 13-over 301. New Zealander Lydia Ko produced a steady performance under pressure to claim gold and complete her set of medals. PTI
On the edge Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret took another big step to cementing her status as the world’s greatest sport climber by battling her way to a back-to-back Olympics title with a victory in the boulder and lead event. Climbing made its second Olympics appearance but this was the first Games to split boulder and lead from the speed discipline as is the norm for the sport. Reuters
