India's Olympic journey in Paris continues on Day 4 with a mix of anticipation and hope. After a slightly uneven Day 3, the Indian contingent is looking to regain momentum and add to their medal tally. The highlight of the day is undoubtedly the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team Bronze Medal Match, featuring the dynamic duo of Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh. They will be going up against Korea in a bid to secure India's second medal of the Games.
While the spotlight shines on the shooting event, other Indian athletes are set to make their mark in various disciplines. The Trap events will see Prithviraj Tondaiman in the Men's Qualification and Shreyasi Singh and Rajeshwari Kumari in the Women's Qualification. Badminton fans can look forward to Lakshya Sen's continued campaign in the Men's Singles, while Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will be aiming for a strong start in the Men's Doubles Group stage. In boxing, Amit Panghal will be battling Patrick Chinyemba in the Men's 51kg Round of 16, while Jaismine Lamboria and Preeti Pawar will be competing in the Women's 57kg and 54kg categories respectively.
Day 3 saw a mix of fortunes for the Indian athletes. Arjun Babuta and Ramita Jindal fell short of medals in the 10m Air Rifle finals, while the men's archery team was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Turkey. The men's hockey team settled for a draw against Argentina. However, Bhaker and Singh's qualification for the bronze medal match offered a glimmer of hope, and Lakshya Sen's convincing win in badminton provided a much-needed boost. As the Indian contingent gears up for Day 4, the country's sporting fans are eagerly waiting to see if the athletes can rise to the occasion and deliver a memorable performance.
