That’s it for Scroll’s coverage of Day 7 of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
No medals today for India today but a lot of positives. Manu Bhaker reached the final of the women’s 25m pistol event to stay in the hunt for a historic third medal for India in Paris.
The men’s hockey team had their best outing in Paris as they beat Australia 3-2 to finish second in pool B. The win was India’s first in men’s Olympic hockey against Australia since the 1972 Munich Olympics.
The day was topped off by Lakshya Sen who became the first Indian shuttler to reach the men’s singles semi-final at the Olympic Games.
There was also heartbreak as Dhiraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhakat brushed away disappointing performances in the individual and team events to achieve India’s best finish at an Olympic Games so far. The pair finished fourth in the mixed team archery event.
Tomorrow, Bhaker returns to shoot for a third medal in Paris while the likes of archers Bhajan Kaur and Deepika Kumari, and boxer Nishant Dev look to add to India’s medal tally.
Do join us tomorrow!
