After 8 days of play in Paris Olympics 2024, India remains at 50th position with 3 medals. On the previous day, India was at number 47, but due to not winning any medal in two days, it suffered a loss. Now this Maha Kumbh of sports will be played for 8 more days. In the last two days, Indian athletes have lost 5 medal opportunities. On the 8th day of the game, Manu Bhaker missed out on a hat-trick. At the same time, Deepika Kumari and Bhajan Kaur also failed to reach the medal round of archery. Apart from this, Nishant Dev lost the quarterfinal match in boxing and remained just one step away from the medal.

Now it is the turn of the 9th day, on this day some big names like Lakshya Sen and Lovlina Borgohain are going to play. At the same time, there will be a chance to win a medal once again in shooting.

Indian Hockey Team Quarter Finals

The 9th day of the Paris Olympics will begin with the biggest match. The Indian hockey team has created history by defeating Australia in the group stage after 52 years in the Olympics. Now it is the turn of the quarter-finals, where it will face Great Britain. Britain has also defeated India in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

On Sunday, August 4, from 1.30 pm, the Indian team will once again enter with the intention of winning.

Lakshya Sen's ordeal

The second big match for India on the 9th day will be in badminton. Lakshya Sen is just one step away from creating history by winning a medal. Before this, he will have to face a tough test against Denmark's Viktor Axelsen in the semi-finals of men's badminton. Axelsen is ranked second in the world rankings, while Lakshya is ranked 19th. If Lakshya wins this match, he will enter the finals and a medal will also be confirmed. He will become the first Indian to win a medal in the history of men's badminton.

This match will be played from 2.20 pm.

Lovlina has her eyes on the medal

Lovlina Borgohain is now India's last hope in boxing. She has to face China's Li Qian in the quarter-finals on Sunday, August 4. This match is not going to be easy, as Li Qian has won silver in Tokyo Olympics and bronze in Rio Olympics. However, if Lovlina manages to defeat Qian, she will go to the semi-finals and at least a bronze medal will be confirmed in her name.

Opportunity for medal in shooting too

India has already won 3 medals in shooting at the Paris Olympics.

Now there will be a chance to win another medal on the 9th day. August 4 is the second day of the women's shooting skeet event. Raiza Dhillon and Maheshwari Chauhan are participating from India. After the first day, Maheshwari is at 8th and Raiza is at 25th position. There are 2 more rounds left for qualification, which will be played from 1 pm.
