India had a mixed day at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Sunday (August 4). Lakshya Sen missed out on assuring a medal for India in badminton as he went down fighting against reigning champions Viktor Axelsen in the semifinals.
Sen will be looking to bounce back and win the bronze medal match on Monday. He will be facing Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia for the medal. The highlight of the day was India’s stunning victory against Great Britain in the hockey quarterfinal.
India beat their opponents in the shoot-out to book a place in the last four. In boxing, India had a disappointing day as Nishant Dev and Lovlina Borgohain lost their respective quarterfinal bouts.
On Monday, Sen will be looking to add to India’s medal tally in the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024 by clinching a historic bronze.
