In the women's 10m air rifle final, Ramita Jindal narrowly missed out on a medal, finishing in 7th place. Jindal displayed strong performances but couldn't secure a top finish. In badminton, India's Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa lost the first game 21-11 to Japan's Nami/Chiharu in the women’s doubles. The competition continues as athletes vie for top honors.

India's Olympic hopefuls are poised for a medal surge on Monday at the Paris Olympics 2024. After Manu Bhaker secured a bronze in the 10m Air Pistol, India could add up to five more medals. Bhaker will compete in the 10m Air Pistol mixed team event, alongside Sarabjot Singh and Rhythm Sangwan with Arjun Cheema Singh, aiming for the podium. Ramita Jindal and Arjun Babuta will compete in their respective 10m Air Rifle finals. Additionally, the Indian men's archery team will vie for a spot in the medal rounds in their quarterfinal match.

India's tennis hopes at the Paris Olympics were dashed in a single day as Sumit Nagal and the men's doubles team of Rohan Bopanna and N Sriram Balaji were eliminated in their opening matches. Nagal lost a three-set battle to Corentin Moutet, 2-6, 6-4, 5-7, despite a strong recovery. In the men's doubles, Bopanna and Balaji were defeated by Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Gael Monfils, 5-7, 2-6. The losses mark a disappointing end to India's tennis campaign, with Bopanna's match potentially being his final representation for India in major events.

Following Manu Bhaker's bronze medal win, Indian shooters Ramita Jindal and Arjun Babuta aim to add to India's medal tally today at the Paris Olympics. Ramita competes in the Women's 10m Air Rifle Final at 13:00 IST, while Arjun takes part in the Men's 10m Air Rifle Final at 15:30 IST. Both hope to build on their strong qualification performances. Other key events for India on July 29 include badminton matches, hockey against Argentina, and table tennis featuring Manika Batra. The nation eagerly watches as its athletes strive for Olympic glory.

Cricket legend Rahul Dravid praised Manu Bhaker's resilience after she won a historic bronze in the 10m air pistol event at the Paris Olympics. Bhaker, 22, overcame a disappointing Tokyo Olympics and became the first Indian woman shooter to claim an Olympic medal, ending a 12-year wait for India's shooters. Dravid, speaking at a panel discussion in Paris, highlighted the sacrifices and hard work behind such achievements. Bhaker's bronze came with a score of 221.7, while Korea's Jin Ye Oh and Kim Yeji took gold and silver. Dravid recently guided India to a T20 World Cup win.

Injury withdrawals have hit Indian badminton players hard at the Paris Olympics. Lakshya Sen's win over Kevin Cordon was canceled after Cordon withdrew due to injury. Lakshya now faces a tough path, playing all three group matches alone. In doubles, Satwik-Chirag’s match against Mark Lamsfuss and Marvin Seidel was canceled due to Lamsfuss's knee injury. This affects their group stage results. While Satwik-Chirag has a chance to regroup, Lakshya's situation is more challenging. Both players hope for favorable outcomes in their remaining matches.

Badminton star PV Sindhu welcomed actor Ram Charan and his wife Upasana to the Paris Olympics. The couple cheered for her during her match against Maldives' Fathimath Abdul Razzaq. Upasana shared videos on Instagram, showing their day with PV. Sindhu gave them a tour of the Olympic Village and played with their dog, Rhyme. Ram and Upasana posted pictures with PV, praising her as a "true rock star." Ram Charan, his wife, and parents attended the opening ceremony, marking a historic event as it was held outside the stadium for the first time.

On Day 2 of the Paris Olympics 2024, Manu Bhaker made history by winning bronze in the women’s 10m air pistol, marking India’s first shooting medal at these Games. HS Prannoy and PV Sindhu triumphed in their badminton matches, while Sreeja Akula and Manika Batra advanced in table tennis. However, Harmeet Desai exited the men’s singles in table tennis, and Sumit Nagal lost in the first round of tennis. The Indian women's archery team faced a quarterfinal defeat. Rohan Bopanna and N. Sriram Balaji's men’s doubles match remains a highlight of the ongoing action. In medal tally Australia leads with 6 medals (4 gold, 2 silver). France tops with 7 medals (3 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze), followed by Japan with 6 medals (3 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze). South Korea also has 6 medals (3 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze). China has 6 medals (3 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze), and the USA leads overall with 9 medals (2 gold, 4 silver, 3 bronze) and India has won 1 bronze.

Indian table tennis player Harmeet Desai's Olympic debut ended in a straight games defeat to World No. 5 Felix Lebrun of France in the Round of 64. Despite a strong start, Harmeet, ranked 86th, couldn't match the speed and skill of the 17-year-old Frenchman, losing 8-11, 8-11. Harmeet's campaign started promisingly with a preliminary round win, but Lebrun's powerful forehand and home crowd support proved too much. Earlier, India's senior paddler Sharath Kamal also exited the tournament in a shock result.

India secured the T20I series against Sri Lanka with a game to spare, marking a strong start to the Gautam Gambhir era.

Suryakumar Yadav scored a brisk 26 off 12, and Hardik Pandya's six sealed the victory. Ravi Bishnoi's three-wicket haul and Arshdeep Singh's early breakthroughs were instrumental in India's win.
