Nethra Kumanan in Paris Olympics

At the Paris Olympics, Indian sailors Nethra Kumanan and Vishnu Saravanan began their campaigns with mixed results in the dinghy events. Kumanan finished sixth in her opening race, while Saravanan started strong in Race 1 with a 10th place but fell to 34th in Race 2, placing him 25th overall. The second race for Kumanan was postponed due to lack of wind, but she aims to secure a top 10 finish, having previously earned bronze medals at major tournaments. Meanwhile, British sailor Freya Black reflected on her team's disappointment after finishing 16th, missing out on medal contention, yet remains optimistic about future competitions. Both Kumanan and Black's experiences highlight the challenges and aspirations of athletes on the Olympic stage. As they look ahead, the focus is on learning from this year's events and preparing for future competitions, including the next Olympics in Los Angeles.
