Paris Olympics 2024
CHENNAI: Manu Bhaker who has already made history by becoming the first Indian athlete to win two bronze medals in a single Olympic edition lost in the finals of Women’s 25m pistol where she finished in fourth place.
Deepika Kumari started off well in the first round against Germany's Michelle Kroppen by defeating her 6-4. But in the semi-finals, it didn’t go as per her plan especially in the fifth set which was her only chance closer to the medal.
Elsewhere, youngster Bhajan Kaur would take a lot of lessons back home and hopefully come back stronger than ever in her next tournament. The 18-year-old went down to D Choirunisa of Indonesia in women’s individual 1/8 elimination round.
Indians Nethra Kumanan finished sixth at the end of day three whereas Vishnu Saravanan finished 24th after the end of six races.
