Paris Olympics 2024: Swapnil Kusale, hailing from Kolhapur, made a remarkable statement at the Paris Games 2024 by winning a historic bronze medal on Thursday. Displaying incredible composure during the final, Kusale scored an aggregate of 451.4 to secure a podium finish and boost India's medal tally to three bronze medals. On Day 6 of the Olympics, India climbed to 42nd place in the medal standings.
However, Day 6 brings some disappointment for India as badminton stars PV Sindhu, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, and Chirag Shetty were knocked out of the competition. Sindhu, a silver and bronze medalist in previous Olympics, lost to China's world number nine He Bingjiao in the women’s singles pre-quarterfinals. Satwik and Chirag also faced defeat in the men’s doubles quarterfinals, ending their Olympic journey.
Looking ahead, Manu Bhaker aims for another medal as she competes in the women's 25m pistol qualification on Friday. Bhaker, who has already won two bronze medals in Paris, will be joined by Esha Singh in the event. Shooter Anantjeet Singh Naruka will be competing alone in the men's skeet qualification. In hockey, Harmanpreet Singh’s team will face Australia after a narrow 1-2 loss to Belgium. Additionally, athletes Ankita Dhyani, Parul Chaudhary, and Tajinderpal Singh Toor will represent India in the athletics events.
