India at Paris 2024 - What to look forward to on Day 3 29-July-2024

Archery - Women's team lost to Netherlands 6-0. Except Ankita Bhagat rest two were not firing well.

Badminton - Sindhu won in straight games against  ABDUL RAZZAQ Fathimath Nabaaha of Maldives. Prannoy defeated Germany's Fabian Roth in straight games

Boxing - Nikhat defeated Germany's Maxi Carina Kloetzer in the first round match. It was an interesting close contest, even though Nikhat won by an unanimous 5-0 decision. 

Rowing - Panwar finished second repachage rounds.. He is through to the quarters. I was wrong in saying that his medal contention was over. He still has to finish in top 3 in his quarters to proceed to semis. 

Swimming - Both our swimmers were in action. Srihari iwas way outside his PB  and the 14 year old Dinidhi was just outside her national record time in the 200m freestyle (3:30pm). As expected both didn't progress beyond the heats.

Shooting -  Manu Bhaker won the first medal for India in shooting. She was in contention for silver till her last shot but finished with Bronze. She looks to have moved on from her disastrous outing in Tokyo. 

In 10m Air Rifle qualifications Ramita and Arjun Babuta have qualified for the finals. Elavenil and Sandeep didn't progress. 

Tennis - Men's Double first round Bopanna and Balaji Sriram lost to Edouard Roger & Gael Monfils in straight sets. 

Table Tennis - Sreeja Akula defeated Christina Kallberg of Sweden in the first round

Sharat Kamal lost to Deni Kozul of Slovenia in the first round

Manika Batra defeated Anna Hursey of GB in the first round

Harmeet Desai lost to France Felix Lebrun in straight games

I expected all 3 to progress but Sharat lost.
