India at Olympics 2024, Day 9 as it happened: Hockey team beat Great Britain in QF; Sen loses in SF

That’s it from us tonight! Do join us tomorrow for another drama-filled day of action at the Olympic Games!

What a way to end the night! Noah Lyles crowns himself as the fastest man on the planet after winning one of the best 100m finals in recent memory!

India had a subdued day in Paris with the men’s hockey team’s incredible quarter-final win over Great Britain the only positive. Down to 10 players with more than half the match remaining, India held Britain to a 1-1 draw before winning the match via penalty shootouts.

Lakshya Sen fell short of reaching the badminton men’s singles final after losing to defending champion Viktor Axelsen in the semi-final. Sen could still become the first Indian man to win an Olympic medal in badminton when he competes in the bronze medal match tomorrow.

There was further disappointment in shooting as Vijayveer Sidhu and Anish Bhanwala failed to reach the 25m pistol final despite being in the top six for most of the qualification round.

For the first time in history 8 men have broken 10 seconds in a wind-legal race.

This Olympic 100m final is ICONIC ‼️#Paris2024 #Olympics pic.twitter.com/O7wVqMkygv— World Athletics (@WorldAthletics) August 4, 2024
