After a subtle disappointment on day 8, there will be a new morning on August 4, where Indian badminton ace Lakshya Sen and the Indian hockey team will aim to achieve big
It was a bit of a disappointing day for India for several reasons. Manu Bhaker, who had been performing impressively by clinching bronze medals in both the 10 m individual and mixed events, finished fourth in the 25 m finals. She missed a medal hat-trick by the narrowest of margins. As she scored 28, which was surpassed by Hungarian shooter Veronika Major, who scored 31.
Also, Deepika Kumari, the experienced archer with several accolades to her name, failed to make a mark as she was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the women’s individual event at the Paris Olympics, losing to South Korea’s Nam Suhyeon.
However, there is a ray of hope on day 9. For many athletes, it will be a new and fresh morning at the Paris Olympics 2024. As Indian players will strive to achieve big. Day 9 is expected to be filled with thrilling games, including Lakshya Sen’s badminton singles semifinal and the Indian men’s hockey team’s quarterfinal match against Great Britain.
The Indian hockey team, which recently defeated Australia 3-2 and entered the quarters with a champion’s aura, will face David Ames-led Great Britain. As mentioned, there will be many exciting events, so let’s have a look at the schedule to know which matches to watch and when.
