Paris Olympics 2024 Day 9 Highlights: India advances to hockey semi-finals defeating Great Britain; Lakshya Sen loses to Axelsen in badminton

BADMINTON: Lakshya Sen in action LAKSHYA SEN VS Viktor Axelsen

Lakshya Sen has a challenging task ahead of him, with the 6-foot 'Great Dane' Viktor Axelsen standing between him and a podium finish.

The Danish powerhouse delivers returns at a speed of 400 kph, which look like shots raining from the sky, given his height that allows him to open his chest and increase racquet speed.

That said, Axelsen has had his share of injury concerns in the recent past, and there wouldn't be a better time for Lakshya, who's in the form of his life, to capitalise and secure his second win against the reigning Olympic champion
