Indian Athletes Shine in Paris Olympics 2024

Indian athletes had a mixed day at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with significant achievements and some setbacks. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty made history by becoming the first Indian men’s doubles badminton pair to reach the quarter-finals, after their Group C match against Germany was canceled due to an injury to Mark Lamsfuss. The Indian women's doubles badminton pair, Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto, are on the verge of elimination after consecutive losses. In hockey, the Indian men's team played to a 1-1 draw against Argentina in a tough Pool B match. Indian shooter Arjun Babuta narrowly missed out on a medal, but the team remains hopeful with strong performances from Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh.
