Day 4 of the Paris 2024 Olympics brought more glory to India, with the shooting events continuing to shine. The duo of Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh secured a bronze medal in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event, adding to India’s medal tally. With this achievement, Manu Bhaker became the second Indian athlete to win two medals in the same edition of the Olympics, after Norman Pritchard.

While some Indian athletes excelled in their disciplines, others were eliminated early during the Summer Games.

Let’s take a comprehensive look at all the action and highlights involving Indian athletes on the fourth day of the quadrennial event:

Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh won a bronze medal in the mixed team 10m air pistol, beating South Korea 16-10 in a thrilling match.

Archery saw a day of mixed results for India with Bhajan Kaur reaching the quarter-finals while Ankita Bhakat suffered a heavy defeat.

Bhajan Kaur was superior to Poland’s Wioleta Myszor in the round of 16 and won convincingly 6-0.

Dhiraj Bommadevara, who was India’s best performer in the rankings round, had a painful exit in the round of 32. After beating Czech Adam Li 7-1, Bommadevara suffered a shootout defeat to Canadian Eric Peters. Both shooters hit 10 in the last hit but the Canadian’s effort was closer to the circle.

The Indians had a challenging day in the boxing ring as both participants suffered heavy defeats.

In the women’s featherweight round of 32, Jaismine Lamboria had a tough match against Tokyo 2020 silver medalist Nesthy Petecio of the Philippines. The match was one-sided, with Jaismine losing by a unanimous 5-0 decision, ending her Olympic journey in the preliminary round.

In the final match of the day, Preeti Pawar suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the round of 16 of the women’s 54kg. Against Colombia’s Yeni Arias, who won a silver medal at the 2023 World Championships, Preeti lost by a margin of 2-3.

The 25-year-old clocked a time of 7:05.10, which was not enough to advance to the medal rounds. He will now compete in the C/D semi-finals, where he will compete for a final ranking between 13th and 24th place.

Dynamic duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty triumphed in their final group stage match in the men’s doubles at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Tuesday, beating Indonesia’s Muhammad Rian Ardianto and Fajar Alfian convincingly in straight sets on Court 3 at the La Chapelle Arena.

Satwik and Chirag completed the match in just 40 minutes, winning 21-13, 21-13 to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.

The Indian men’s hockey team maintained their unbeaten run in Pool B with a 2-0 win over Ireland in their third match of the Olympics at the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium. Captain Harmanpreet Singh scored both goals, in the 11th and 19th minutes of the match.
