Hello and welcome to Scroll’s coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!
August 1 was a mixed bag of results for the Indian contingent in Paris.
The exits of boxer Nikhat Zareen, shuttlers Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty and PV Sindhu along with the disappointing performances of Sift Kaur Samra and Anjum Moudgil in the women’s 50m Rifle 3 positions final brought a damper on Swapnil Kusale’s bronze medal feat.
But there’s plenty of action in store for the Indian contingent today with more medal hopefuls on the card.
First up, Manu Bhaker returns to action along with Esha Singh to aim for a third medal in the 25m pistol women’s event. Both Bhaker and Singh will be looking to finish in the top eight for a chance to compete in the final on Saturday.
Lakshya Sen will aim to boost India’s medal hopes in badminton when he takes on Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei in the men’s singles quarter-final.
Dhiraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhakat will try to go the distance in the archery mixed team event when they come up against Indonesia in the Round of 16.
Sailors Nehtra Kumanan and Vishnu Saravanan will continue their campaign in Marseille while golfers Shubhankar Sharma and Gaganjeet Bhullar gear up for Day 2 of the men’s individual event.
Also in action will be Anant Jeet...
