CHENNAI: After the colourful opening ceremony, the Paris Olympics has officially begun and the Indian contingents will be in action in seven different sports on Saturday with shooting, badminton, hockey and tennis being standout sports.
The 33rd edition of the Summer Olympics will take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
The action started at 12:30 IST with India’s Balraj Panwar failing to qualify directly in rowing quarterfinals. Now he'd have to play repechage heats and need to finish in top 2 to keep his medal hopes alive.
Another heartbreak for the 10m air rifle mixed team as Sandeep Singh and Elavenil V from Tamil Nadu and Arjun Babuta/Ramita Jindal who had high hopes failed to make the cut.
Elavenil and Sandeep finished at 12th whereas the duo of Ramita and Arjun gave tough fight to finish in 6th
Manu Bhaker carried India's shooting medal hopes and qualified to medal round which will happen tomorrow 3:30 pm.
