Paris Olympics 2024 Day 1 Live Updates: Lakshya Sen begins India’s badminton campaign after Manu Bhaker qualifies for air pistol final, Bopanna is in action too
Paris Olympics 2024 Day 1 Live Updates: Let the Games begin! After a star-studded, captivating and rather unique opening ceremony, the 33rd Olympic Games is officially underway in Paris. And if you’re supporting Team India, you couldn’t have hoped for a more exciting and pulsating start to the Summer Games. Welcome to Day 1 of the Paris Olympics 2024 where plethora of Indian stars are in action across shooting, badminton, tennis, hockey, boxing and more. In the Sculls men’s singles heat 1, rower Balraj Panwar went full throttle as he finished in fourth position and secured a repechage berth. But the result was a contrasting in the 10m air rifle mixed team qualification event, where there were two Indian teams, who were also one of the favourites to finish in top-four.…Read More
But they were extremely disappointing, as they finished outside the top-four berth, and were knocked out. Ramita Ramita-Arjun Babuta finish in 6th position, Elavenil Valarivan-Sandeep Singh were 12th in the qualification event. Meanwhile, Sarabjot Singh and Arjun Singh Cheema also faltered at the 10m air pistol men’s qualification round, finishing outside the top-eight berths.
While the first half of the day is shooting-heavy, the second half will throw plenty of mix and match. The likes of shuttlers HS Prannoy and the double’s team of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Reddy will look to give Indian badminton an early push, followed by the men’s hockey team. Besides, India’s oldest athlete of the Paris Olympics, Rohan Bopanna and his partner N Sriram Balaji, who have a go at France’s Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Fabien Reboul in their men’s doubles first round match.
Traditionally, shooting, as a whole, was labelled as an underachieving sport for India at the Olympics. India last won a medal at shooting in London 2012, and there isn’t a better and more opportune time to start afresh than here in Paris.
Much to the excitement of fans, the men’s hockey team in action, who face New Zealand in their Pool B opener. In badminton, Lakshya takes on Kevin Cordon in his men’s singles group match, while the doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will face France’s Lucas Corvee and Ronan Labar of France in their group fixture. Also, Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto will face Korea’s So Yeong and Kong Hee Yon.
In boxing, Preeti Pawar will fancy his uppercuts and jabs against Vietnam’s Thi Kim anh Vo in her Women’s 54kg opening round bout. Also in men’s single sculls, Panwar Balraj will be representing India.
India have sent a strong 117-member contingent at the Olympic Games, hoping to better their tally of 7 medals at the Tokyo Games. Neeraj Chopra, Manu Bhaker, Lakshya Sen, PV Sindhu, men’s hockey team, Vinesh Phogat and Nikhat Zareen are some of India’s brightest medal hopes. A lot is also expected of pugilist Lovlina Borgohain and weightlifter Mirabai Chanu to put in a repeat of their Tokyo show and land their second successive medal, joining PV Sindhu as the only other Indian to win back-to-back Olympics medal.
In fact, badminton is the only sport where India have consistently won medals starting the 2012 London Games. Wrestling has been another strong sport for India at the Olympics. It has fetched the second most Olympic medals for India after hockey but given the off-the-field turmoil it finds itself it, the sport finds itself taking a hit. Someone like Sakshi Malik is not even part of the contingent and has been restricted to doing commentary.
Here is what India’s schedule looks like on Day 1 of the 2024 Paris Olympics:
