Olympics 2024, India’s schedule on July 31: Sindhu, Manika in action; Lovlina starts campaign

The fifth day of the 2024 Paris Olympics will see the 2020 Tokyo Games bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain start her campaign at the North Paris Arena along with another talented pugilist Nishant Dev.

India will also have top shuttlers PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, and HS Prannoy to watch out for in their respective final group stage matches at the La Chapelle Arena. Manika Batra, who became the first Indian paddler to reach the Round of 16, will also continue her women’s singles campaign.

Sreeja Akula, will also return to action in table tennis, for her Round of 32 clash after a few days break.

The 2022 Asian Games medallist equestrian Anush Agarwalla will also open his campaign riding atop Sir Caramello Old. Veteran archers Deepika Kumari and Tarundeep Rai will also start their respective individual campaigns.

In shooting, India’s most successful sport at the Games so far, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar and Swapnil Kusale will take to the Chateauroux Shooting Centre for the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions qualification round.

The only medal event for India will be the women’s trap final, but it looks unlikely that Shreyasi Singh and Rajeshwari Kumari will reach that far after their performance in Qualification Day 1.
