"India is phenomenally proud of all our athletes in Rio & their hardwork that got them there. Victory & setbacks are all a part of life," Modi tweeted.
"I urge all athletes who have their games remaining to give their best & play with determination, not get burdened by what the result will be," he said.
Modi said: "The endurance, determination & dedication of every Indian athlete who is in Rio makes us very proud. They are India's pride."
