Paris Olympics 2024 Day 9 Roundup: India has won 3 bronze medals so far in Paris Olympics 2024. All these medals have come in shooting. But on the 9th day (July 4) i.e. Sunday, India did not get any medal. This day has been a mixed one for India. Under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Singh, the Indian hockey team has entered the semi-finals by registering a spectacular victory.
Despite being reduced to 10 players, the hockey team defeated Britain in a penalty shootout to enter the semi-finals of the Paris Olympics. While in badminton, Lakshya Sen lost in the semi-finals and India’s campaign in boxing ended with the defeat of Lovlina Borgohain.
9th day was in the name of Indian hockey
Sunday was in the name of the Indian hockey team in the Paris Olympics. The Indian team, which defeated a giant like Australia in the Olympics after 52 years in the last pool match, pushed the quarter-finals into a shootout despite playing with one less player for more than 40 minutes and eventually won 4-2. Once again, the hero of the victory was goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, for whom this is his last tournament.
Apart from this, India faced disappointment in the rest of the games. Lakshya Sen, who has been in great form till now, lost the badminton semi-final and will now play for bronze. At the same time, Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist boxer Lovlina Borgohain could not reach the last four. Disappointing performance continued in athletics.
