The 2024 Paris Olympics’s Day 10 came across as an unlucky day for Indian fans. Indian badminton player Lakshya Sen misses the opportunity to bring home the 4th medal for the country. After his historic quarterfinal win hopes were quite high for this young man. However, his campaign unfortunately ended up losing 1-2. Moreover, shooters Anantjeet Singh Naruka and Maheshwari Chauhan also failed to bring bronze as well. More or less this 10th day has been a disappointing day for India. 

Here are the key moments for India on the 10th day of this historic event.

India’s rookie badminton player Lakshya Sen narrowly misses on creating history after a hardhead battle with Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia who is the World’s no.7 player losing 1-2 ending the match with scores of 21-13, 16-21, 11-21.

Despite putting in a strong performance throughout the event, this year’s  Olympics proved unlucky for the debutant.

Heartbreak hasn’t left India in this sport as well, as after a head-to-head combat at Champ-de-Mars Arena wrestler Nisha Dahiya was subdued by Sol Gum Pak of North Korea 10-8 in the women’s freestyle 68 kg Olympics quarterfinal. 

Although Dahiya took an initial lead of 4-0 after the first round and extended her advantage to 8-1, in the blink of an eye Pak’s counterattack made the score equal. Eventually, with two more scores, Pak sealed her victory. 

Table Tennis

With a series of disappointments, there is a silver lining for India in table tennis. Indian women’s table tennis team gained an impressive victory of 3-2 from World No.4 Romania in their Round of 16 match.

The talented Sreeja Akula, Archana Kamath, and Manika Batra ended up in a tie fight back in the fifth round. With Batra’s magnificent stroke, they gained an incredible victory in the match held at the South Paris Arena.

On the other hand, Avinash Sable gained a glorious victory in the semi-final of the men’s 3000m steeplechase, ranking fifth in Heat 2 of Round 1. He is officially heading towards finals for now.
