It was a day of near misses as Lakshya Sen’s steely resolve finally wilted in the high-pressure bronze playoff, an unexpected skeet medal in shooting slipped away after a promising start, while a podium hope in wrestling was left in tears, adding to India’s mounting heartbreaks in the Paris Olympics 2024. Sen lost to Malyasia’s world no.7 Lee Zii Jia while the pair of Maheshwari Chauhan and Anant Jeet Singh Naruka lost by a solitary point to China in the skeet mixed team event, settling for the fourth spot. There was more agony in store for India when grappler Nisha Dahiya was left sobbing in acute pain after she lost her quarterfinal bout to North Korea’s Pak Sol Gum 8-10 in the women’s 68 kg freestyle category. It wasn’t all doom and gloom though with the women’s table tennis team of Manika Batra, Sreeja Akula and Archana Kamath beating higher-ranked Romania to enter the quarterfinals.

Here are all the details from Day 10 of the Paris Olympics 2024…

  Paris Olympics 2024 Live Updates, Day 10: India’s most well-known woman sailor Nethra Kumanan finished at the 21st spot after the ninth qualifying race in the individual Dinghy event at Paris Olympics on Monday. There are 10 races in qualifying rounds after which the medal round list is decided but the 10th race was cancelled due to inclement weather. Only the top 10 in terms of timing after all the qualifying races get into the medal round. After the eighth qualifying race, she was placed 24th and on Monday, she improved upon her previous few days of shoddy show to finish a creditable 10th among 43 in the ninth qualifying race. But that could only help her in jumping three spots to 21st and that was never going to be enough in the end. Her best performance was in the first qualifying race in which she finished sixth and worst was the eighth race where she was a dismal 31st. After the first qualifiers, she hardly was in contention for top 10 place. For the 26-year-old Nethra, this is the second successive time that she has failed to progress to the Medal Race.
