India is poised for an exciting day at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, following shooter Manu Bhaker’s bronze medal win in the 10m Air Pistol final. Bhaker, who missed out on a medal in Tokyo due to a pistol malfunction, has redeemed herself by securing India’s first medal in Paris.
On Monday, Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh will compete in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team Event, aiming for a bronze medal. Unfortunately, Rhythm Sangwan and Arjun Cheema Singh did not advance past the qualification stage. In individual events, Ramita Jindal finished 7th in the 10m Air Rifle Women’s Final, and Arjun Babuta placed 4th in the Men’s 10m Air Rifle Final, narrowly missing out on a medal.
Additionally, the Indian men’s archery team, featuring Dhiraj Bommadevara, Pravin Jadhav, and Tarundeep Rai, will face either Colombia or Turkey in their quarterfinal match. A win would secure their spot in the medal rounds. The archery match is scheduled to start at 5:45 PM IST.
Currently, India has one medal, but the day holds the potential for up to three more. Here’s the breakdown:
- 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team Event: Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh will compete for a bronze medal, having qualified in 3rd place. The qualification round began at 12:45 PM IST.
- 10m Air Rifle Women’s Final: Ramita Jindal, despite a strong qualification performance, finished 7th in the final.
- 10m Air Rifle Men’s Final: Arjun Babuta narrowly missed a medal, finishing 4th.
- Men’s Archery Team Event: The Indian team’s match begins at 5:45 PM IST, with a chance to advance to the medal rounds.
Stay tuned for an action-packed day as India looks to add to its medal tally!
