The Indian contingent enjoyed a historic day at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Friday (August 2). After suffering a string of disappointing results on Thursday, the Indian athletes bounced back in style on Friday.
Lakshya Sen, the only Indian player left in badminton, became the first Indian player to make the men’s singles badminton semifinals at the Olympics. Sen defeated Chinese Taipei’s Chou Tien Chen in a thrilling game to advance to the last four.
On the other hand, Ankita Bhakat and Dhiraj Bommadevara ensured the best finish in archery for India at the Olympic Games by qualifying for the semifinals before losing the bronze medal match. Manu Bhaker and India’s hockey team only made the day better.
