Harika and Vantika register wins in their respective boards as India hands Azerbaijan a 3.5-0.5 loss in the final round.
Everyone were waiting for the match result of KAZ vs USA in the women’s section. The tiebreaker calculations were complex, it would be a very good move for India if both remaining boards were drawn finally, the results came up and it was a draw of KAZ vs USA and which resulted in India’s favour and India clinched another gold in the 2024 Olympiad.
