Paris Olympics 2024 Day 3: Top Indian athletes to watch on Day 3
On Monday, Manu Bhaker will return to competition on the third day as the Indian shooting team looks to increase their medal total. Whereas Satwik-Chirag and Lakhsya Sen will go for big victories, PR Sreejesh and the Indian men's hockey team will try to maintain their lead.
Paris Olympics 2024 Day 3: On Sunday, India experienced a historic day when the medal tally was formally unveiled, and on Day 3, there was still an opportunity to add more. Once more, archery, badminton, and shooting will take center stage as Indian competitors strive to shine in the bright lights of Paris.
On Monday, a legend like PR Sreejesh will be looking to make sure that he does have a fairytale ending in Paris, while some of the best young talents and medal chances will be taking to the Olympic stage. In light of this, let's examine the elite athletes competing on Day 3 of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Manu Bhaker
With her historic bronze medal on Sunday, Manu Bhaker is the most talked-about person in India right now. After a 12-year wait for a shooting medal, the 22-year-old delivered an incredible performance. He will return to competition in the mixed team qualification round for the 10 m air pistol. Sarabjot Singh, who had painfully missed out on qualifying to the final, will be her partner, and the two of them will be favourites to advance to the finals.
Indian men's hockey team
In the opening game, the Indian men's hockey team defeated New Zealand with a little help from PR Sreejesh. In a challenging match on Monday against the 2016 Olympic winners Argentina, they will be looking for their second straight victory. Every goal will matter in this close group, and India will be hoping that their great goalkeeper is up to the challenge once more.
Lakshya Sen
Lakshya Sen's injury forced the Guatemalan star to withdraw from their first match against Kevin Cordon, making the match declared void. Lakshya will be playing with a lot on the line in every game in an attempt to advance to the next round. The next opponent for the Indian ace is Julian Carraggi.
