Olympics 2024 badminton India Matches Today live updates: PV Sindhu lost 19-21, 14-21 against China’s He Bing Jiao in the last 16 at the Paris Olympics. Thursday’s results left Lakshya Sen as the only remaining shuttler in contention at Paris 2024.
The match saw the two-time Olympic medallist face the Chinese shuttler in a rematch of her Tokyo Olympics bronze-medal match. While Sindhu had won the bronze at Tokyo by beating Bing Jiao, she was defeated in straight games on Thursday.
Meanwhile, in other encounters involving Indian shuttlers, Lakshya Sen has defeated compatriot HS Prannoy 21-12, 21-6 in their men’s singles clash to breeze into the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics.
One of India’s most promising bets for a medal at the Paris Olympics, the Indian men’s doubles pairing of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, were eliminated by the formidable Malaysian pair of Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the quarter-finals. The Indian duo had won the first game 21-13. But they were forced into a decider after losing the second game 14-21. The final game saw them lose 16-21 after a hard-fought battle.
