India’s performance at the Paris Olympics saw a blend of triumphs and disappointments on Tuesday. In a thrilling match, Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh secured a bronze medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, defeating Oh Ye Jin and Wonho Lee of South Korea 16-10. This victory marked a significant achievement for the Indian shooting team.
Meanwhile, the Indian badminton duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty continued their impressive run in the men’s doubles competition. They secured their second consecutive win in Group C, defeating Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto of Indonesia with a dominant 21-13, 21-13 victory.
However, there was a setback for India in the boxing ring. Preeti Pawar, competing in the women’s 54kg category, faced a tough challenge against World No. Two Colombia’s Yeni Marcela Arias Castaneda in the round of 16. Despite putting up a valiant fight, Preeti ultimately lost the match.
These mixed results demonstrate the fierce competition at the Paris Olympics. India’s athletes are continuing to fight hard, showcasing their talent and determination on the world stage. The country’s hopes for more medals remain high as the Games continue.
