After a disappointing outing on Thursday (August 1), the Indian contingent will be looking to bounce back and perform well on Friday in the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024.
A number of India’s strongest medal prospects bowed out of the Games on Thursday. The day started on a good note as Swapnil Kusale clinched a bronze medal in shooting but it was not a precursor for the things to come.
In badminton, two-time Olympics medalist PV Sindh lost in the women’s singles event while Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty were knocked out from the men’s doubles. In boxing, Nikhat Zareen lost her match while in archery Pravin Ramesh Jadhav lost in the men’s recurve individual event.
After the tough day, the Indian athletes will be looking to make amends on Friday. The likes of Manu Bhaker, who has already won two medals at the ongoing games, Lakshya Sen and the Indian hockey team will be in action on August 2.
