After a slightly disappointing start to the day by our shooters, the Indian hockey team have given fans something to smile about.
They rout Spain 3-0 to register their 2nd win in three games.
India have now climbed to second spot in Pool A with six points from three matches and a goal difference of -2. The top four teams go through to the quarters.
India got their men's Olympic hockey campaign back on track with a 3-0 victory over Spain, on Tuesday morning.
India forged ahead through Simranjeet Singh in the 14th minute and added another goal through Rupinder Pal Singh in the next minute after forcing a series of penalty-corners.
Rupinder Pal made it 3-0 from another penalty-corner in the 51st minute, his powerful drag-flick packing too much power and racing through the Spanish defence into goal.
Spain launched an all-out attack in the last five minutes, forcing a couple of penalty-corners, but were unable to breach India's defences.
India beat New Zealand 3-2 in their opening match and were thrashed by Australia 7-1.
