Paris Olympics 2024 July 28 Highlights: Manu Wins Bronze, Shuttlers Shine; End Of Road For Nagal, Sharath

India at Paris Olympics 2024 Highlights: Manu Bhaker shone the brightest with her historic shooting bronze while the seasoned PV Sindhu and debutant Nikhat Zareen held out promise for more podium finishes going forward as women athletes dazzled in India’s account-opening performance on the second day of the Paris Olympics 2024 on Sunday. Also moving ahead was debutant HS Prannoy with a straight-game win over lesser-ranked Fabian Roth of Germany in the men’s singles competition. The 29-year-old Manika Batra dominated Anna Hursey of Great Britain in her round of 64 women’s singles match while India’s top-ranked woman paddler Sreeja Akula also entered the round of 32. Balraj Panwar progressed to the quarterfinals of the men’s single sculls rowing competition after finishing second in Repechage 2. The archers flattered to deceive as the women’s team went down 0-6 to the Netherlands in the quarterfinals. At the Roland Garros, the usually indefatigable Sumit Nagal made a first-round exit.
