New Delhi: The 8th day of the Paris Olympics 2024 was a disappointing one for India as the country's hopes of winning another medal were dashed. The Indian shooter Manu Bhaker who was on the verge of winning her third bronze in the Paris Games missed it just by a whisker in the Women's 25M Pistol Event. But, on the ninth day, missed out on winning a medal in the women's 25m pistol event. But on the 9th day, India will have a chance to shrug off their disappointment and win a medal as Lakshya Sen will have an opportunity to move one step further in the race to get a medal for India by making it to the semi-finals.
