7:48 AM Shivpal hits 74.81m. Doors closed for him. The Indian wasn't looking up to the mark. Not his day, clearly. We move on to wrestling, which begins in the next few minutes. Several Indians take the mat.

7:47 AM USA' hope Thompson can only manage 77.89m. He's ranked 10. Up next, Shivpal. 76.4 is his best so far, today!

7:38 AM Women's Golf Aditi Ashok with another par on Hole 6. She's currently tied 6th, with -1. Putt looked good to be fair, but just moved away! That was close for her. Back to Javelin for now!

7:36 AM No he cannot. Marginally short of 80m mark, he hits 79.71m. Julius Yego on the line. His second throw is a foul. Meanwhile, let's get you abreast with Golf.

7:35 AM Germany's Seifert with another foul. Cheng follows, and hits 71.2m. Anderson Peters up next. Can he better his 80.42m?

7:34 AM Shivpal has looked a little rusty. Hasn't been in his elements completely. Can he sign off with a above-80 throw? Meanwhile, Nadeem qualifies with a HUGE throw of 85.16m! He's ranked 1 in Group B. He's going to the finals. Who doesn't like some Indo-Pak sports rivalry!

7:33 AM After 76.4 in his first, the Indian thrower hits 74.8m. A little better, but way off the mark for qualification. He's currently ranked 10th. Nadeem Arshad to go next. He's from Pakistan.

7:31 AM The Moldovian hits 78.95m. His best for the day is 80.69m. USA's Thompson up next, and he's followed by Shivpal. Thompson hits 78.09. All eyes on Shivpal now!

7:19 AM To Julian Weber from Germany. His compatriot was second behind Neeraj, with an 85m throw. How far can Weber go? He goes long, very long! 84.41m! Direct qualification for this German as well! What a throw from the athlete. Brilliance at display!

7:17 AM Anderson Peters on the mark, and the Grenada athlete hits 80.42m! Second on the table as of now. Following him is Kenya's Julius Yego. Can he replicate his personal best? Threw well, but was a foul throw at the end. We move on...

7:13 AM Germany's Seifert goes next, with a foul attempt. Up next, Chao-Tsun Cheng from Chinese Taipei. He's one of the medal contenders. He's taking his time to get into the act. He only makes it to 68.18m! Athletes stopped as a national anthem was being played.

7:11 AM On your mark, set, go! The Indian with a 76.4m. Ranked fourth at the moment. This wouldn't be enough, but he'll have two more attempts to make the mark. Follows him is Pakistan's Arshad, who hits 78.5m.

7:09 AM Curtis Thompson from USA, an underdog for many, up next. Hits 78.2. It's SHIVPAL's turn now!

7:07 AM Japan's Kominami goes next on home turf, and hits 72.56m! Underwhelming from him, and he'd hope to do better. Up next, Andrian Mardare from Moldova. He hits 80.69m! The first 80+ in this round! We can practically feel Shivpal itching to go!

7:06 AM The Polish starts with a foul throw. Oliver Helander follows, and hits 78.81m. Good start from the Finnish. Shivpal goes 6th. He's wearing 2303.

7:05 AM Men's Javelin Throw qualifiers World No. 6 Marcin Krukowski will get us underway. He's all set, only waiting for the officials to give the green light! 

7:03 AM Women's Golf Fourth hole, she's at par again. There was a  greenside front bunker on the left on this shot. She's keep her cool with finesse and grace. Typical Aditi.

7 AM Men's Javelin Throw qualifiers Five minutes to go before we get underway, and Shivpal would be raring to go! Good performances from compatriots certainly boost confidence, and who better than Neeraj to draw inspiration from this morning!

6:57 AM ICYMI - Lovlina Borgohain will be in action later today, and of course we'll cover every move from the already-assured medalist, against Turkey's Busenaz Surmenel in boxing semifinals.

6:56 AM Men's Javelin Throw qualifiers - The rules remain the same. Athletes need to hit the 83.5m mark, or need to be in the top 12 across both groups to qualify for the finals. One Indian done, next to go?

6:48 AM Women's Golf Another par from Aditi as she drops to Tied 9th. Just the beginning though; don't read too much into it. A couple of birdies can take her to 2nd or 3rd. Inbee Park has a -3 so far, but with 6 holes. She's leading at the moment.

6:47 AM Shivpal Singh will go sixth in his rounds of qualification in Javelin Throw, just before Pakistan's Nadeem Arshad. The Indian has a personal best of 86.23m, and a season best of 81.63m! Can he make it to the 'throw-high and long' club with Neeraj?

6:42 AM Women's Golf The Kasumigaseki Country Club is currently hosting the first round, and it looks beautiful. With the temperature at just over 30 degrees and a little wind, the day looks good for the golfers.

6:40 AM Can we please discuss Neeraj a little more? PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE! Here's how the qualification table looked like! Stop. The. Count. Now! (Can we?)

6:37 AM There are two medal hopefuls in the fray for India today, as boxer Lovlina Borgohain and Indian Women's Hockey team get into action.

6:33 AM Women's Golf - Aditi is tied 8th at the moment, while Diksha is yet to take her first shot. Aditi's second score was par as well. Her next hole is 399yards par 4. A birdie would set her in the right zone.

6:27 AM Women's Golf - The format for Tokyo remains the same - 72 holes and if there's a tie at the top three, it is decided by sudden death tiebreak holes.

6:24 AM Women's Golf - Aditi Ashok starts her campaign with a par. This will help in calming her nerves. Also participating alongside her is Diksha Dagar.

6:20 AM The Latvian hits 78.02m, and we're done for the Round A of qualification. Only Neeraj Chopra, Johannes Vetter and Lassi Etelatalo qualify automatically, with throws longer than 83.5m! Neeraj tops the charts (and we can't stop going Gaga!) with 86.65m.

6:19 AM Next up is Vesely from Czech. He couldn't hit the road running, and is a foul throw. Gatis Cakss to go next.

6:17 AM Edis from Lithuania is up next, with 80.13m. Not bad at all from the young lad.

6:15 AM Vetter goes next... The contender! Can he make it? YES HE DOES! 85.64m, and he's qualified! That's a long, really long throw from the German.

6:13 AM Cyprian is on the mark... Can the Polish go all the way? He hits 78.33m. Rocco Van Rooyen from South Africa is up next. He hits the 75m mark, 74.99m to be precise.

6:11 AM Kim Amb up next for Sweden. He had hit 82.4 in his first throw. Starts with a grunt... and hits a foul! Pavel Mialeshka will go next. He's from Belarus. He's got 82.64m. Good, long throw from him.

6:09 AM He steps over, was a sub-75m throw. Michael Shuey goes next. Needs a good throw, the USA athlete. But is another foul throw! None of the three for him! He's limping, clearly in discomfort. Shih-Feng on the mark now... 77.16m.

6:07 AM Mihaita Novac with a foul throw, and so does Ihab AbdelRahman. Toth-Rivasz next on the line, with another foul throw. Toni Kuusela takes the mark...

6:05 AM Gatis Cakss is up next, and hits 78.73m. Second round over, and Neeraj continues to sit atop the rankings. What was that from the Indian youngster! I still need time to wrap my head around that throw of 86.65m!

6:04 AM Vitezslav Velesy is next up with his second throw! And it's so close! 83.04m. He moves up to the 4th place.

6:02 AM Vetter hits 82.08m; he's been consistent, but a little shy of qualification. However, he's still one of the leaders on the scorecard. Following his is Edis from Lithuania, who hits 81.24.

6:01 AM Cyprian with a foul throw as he touches the line and Van Rooyen hits 74.40. Next up is Vetter, the World No. 1.

5:59 AM Kim Amb from Sweden throws 79.87m. Pavel Mialeshka from Belarus throws 82.17m. Neeraj is off the track, because he's already into the finals!!!!! Can't keep calm now!

GO NEERAJ, GO!

5:57 AM Michael Shuey's second invalid attempt. He's followed by Shing-Feng, who's hit a foul throw. Shuey is in pain, limping.

5:56 AM Rivasz-Toth with a 77.11m throw. Doesn't better his first throw. Up next is Toni Kuusela, who throws 76.96m.

5:55 AM Mihaita Novac with a 80.90m throw in his second attempt. Ihab AbdelRahman follows him with 81.92m.

5:53 AM Gatis Cakss from Latvia with a foul throw, but we're still not over Neeraj's attempt! What a throw that was! 86.65 isn't meagre! It's the longest in the first throw of qualification. The wildcard is going wild.

5:52 AM Neeraj Chopra all set for his first throw at Tokyo 2020! QUALIFIES! Unbelievable! He's made it to the next round already! 86.65m! The No. 1 ranked thrower at the moment! He's the junior world champion, and he's showing why!

5:51 AM Vitezslav Vesely from Czech Republic is all set! He has a foul throw! Following him is Neeraj Chopra...

5:49 AM Edis from Lithuania comes close to the 80m mark, hits 79.5m. Next up is Finland's Lassi Etelatalo. He's on the run... And he qualifies with a massive, massive throw of 84.5m! It's his season's best, and he's the first qualifier!

5:46 AM Cyprian Mrzyglod oversteps and is a foul throw. Rocco Van Ruyen throws 77.41m. We move on to the World No. 1, Johannes Vetter! He's the favourite. He hits 82.04m! Talk about a good start.

5:43 AM Chinese Taipei is represented by Feng Huang, who hits the 76.17m mark! Sweden's Kim Amb follows that with 82.40 m! Belarus' Pavel Mialeshka throws very long, but its a foul throw.

5:40 AM Ihab AbdelRahman goes next, and throws 81.67m. Hungary's Rivasz-Toth goes next! He's hit the 77.76 mark!

5:38 AM This Group (Group A) has several world class throwers. Romania is up and running, with Novac Mihaita throwing 83.27m! What a start we've had to this!

5:35 AM We're almost underway! Novac has taken the mark... We can also see Neeraj wearing India's jacket and ensuring his body remains warmed up!

5:33 AM Romania's Mihaita Novac, the World No. 28, will get us underway in the next couple of minutes. Neeraj goes 15th, wearing a bib numbered 2297. Every athlete needs to breach the 83.5m mark to qualify or the top 12 go into the finals.

5:32 AM India's Shivpal Singh, too, will compete in Javelin Throw, but he's in Group B. So there's time before he takes his mark. However, he'll need to perform well beyond his season best of 81.63 to make a mark. He has a career best of 86.23m, clearly showing he has the ability to go long!

5:30 AM If Chopra is fully fit and at the top of his game, there's no one stopping his qualification. Mark my words there. He's got some serious talent; he's very focused on his game and that's what makes him one of the outside bets for a medal or at least the qualification to the finals. *Fingers crossed*

5:28 AM The event starts in the next few minutes, and the athletes are starting to warm up now. Chopra has an individual best of 88.07m. However, he's grouped with World No. 1, Germany's Johannes Vetter, who has a humongous throwing arm and has a personal best of 97.76!

5:25 AM To begin the day, I, Punit Tripathi extend all of you and our Indian contingent the best of wishes. Can we have a cracking start to the day? It begins who I think is a wildcard for India, Neeraj Chopra. He's currently ranked 16th in the world, but only three players have better throws than him.

5:21 AM Another day at Tokyo Olympics, another day here with all of you. The previous day (August 3rd) wasn't the best for India, with the Indian hockey team losing to Belgium and Tajinder Pal Singh Toor failing to qualify for shotput finals in other events.
