0 28

Ramita Jindal was left dissapointed as she finished in seventh position in the 10m women’s air rifle final, missing out on a medal on Day 3, on Monday. Jindal, who finished in fifth position in qualification, was tipped for a medal and started off strongly, but her impact waned away in the second-half as she exited early.

Meanwhile, Manu Bhaker built on her bronze from yesterday, with a third-placed finish with Sarabjot Singh in the 10m air pistol mixed team qualification event. On the other hand, the other Indian team consisting of Rhythm Sangwan and Arjun Cheema, crashed out and failed to reach any of the medal matches. Later, Arjun Babuta will be fighting for a medal in the men’s 10m air rifle final. On the other hand, Prithviraj Tondaiman will feature in the qualification round of men’s trap.

Meanwhile in badminton, Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto will look to bounce back from their opening defeat, and have their second group match. Lakshya Sen, whose win vs Kevin Cordon has been deleted after the Guatemala shuttler pulled out of Paris 2024 due to injury, will have his second group match and will need to hit the restart button.

Meanwhile, the men’s hockey team has a group stage showdown vs Argentina too, which could turn out to be a thriller.

Fast forward to the second-half of the day, we will have plenty of action in archery. Tarundeep Rai, Dhiraj Bommadevara and Pravin Jadhav will have their men’s team quarter-final clash, and if they progress, the semi-final and medal matches are scheduled for the same day. Meanwhile, Manika Batra, who was utterly dominant in the round of 64, will have her round of 32 match in women’s singles.
