India's Hockey Team Reaches Olympic Semifinals

India faced a mixed day at the Paris Olympics, with the men's hockey team triumphing over Great Britain in a penalty shootout to secure a spot in the semifinals, despite playing with ten men after a red card incident. Veteran goalkeeper P R Sreejesh played a pivotal role in the shootout, earning praise for his performance. However, Lovlina Borgohain exited the boxing tournament after a quarterfinal loss, and Lakshya Sen shifted his focus from gold to a bronze playoff after losing to defending champion Viktor Axelsen. With no new medals added, India remains at 53rd place in the medal standings, with three bronze medals secured in shooting events. The Indian contingent holds hope for potential medals in upcoming events, particularly with Sen's chance for bronze. Overall, the day was a blend of disappointment and resilience for the athletes.
