Paris: India currently has two medals in total as the Paris Olympics 2024 exists, and there is stiff expectation for more on day 6 as Swapnil Kusale is parrying in the 50m rifle 3 positions men’s shooting final. Kusale is on the stage, fighting for the top three in one of the most difficult target events.
Nevertheless, the day has had its lows as well, as Indian athletes performed dismally in the men’s 20km race walk final. Vikash and Akshdeep were not up to the mark, while Paramjeet was disappointed with his performance; Priyanka Goswami will be in action in the women’s race walk final in the first session of the day.
A high-voltage encounter is lined up in badminton, where HS Prannoy will take on Lakshya Sen in the men’s singles round of 16. This particular match features Indian talents, and this match-up is highly anticipated as both the players intend to go further in the competition. Moreover, the Indian men’s hockey team will face Belgium in the Pool B match of the day and will focus on a victory.
The first break in the event coverage of the first half of Day 6 will be Nikhat Zareen’s fight in the women’s 50kg boxing round of 16. Sport shooting and archery fans will be too keen, given that Indian archers will be in action as well. Apart from Kusale’s shooting final, Sift Kaur Samra and Anjum Moudgil will be in action in women’s 50m 3 positions rifle qualification.
The second half of the day will see sailor Vishnu Saran get in the spotlight and later face the men’s doubles badminton quarter-final match between Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. Later in the night, Nethra Kumanan will also be in action, with PV Sindhu expected to fight her Round of 16 match.
