Paris Olympics 2024 Day 3 Live: A late goal from captain Harmanpreet Singh helped India draw 1-1 with Argentina in their men’s hockey Pool B encounter. Meanwhile, Lakshya Sen overcame a slow start and won his first game against Belgium’s Julien Carraggi. Meanwhile, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are through to the quarterfinals of men’s doubles badminton.

Earlier, Arjun Babuta remained in the medal spots for much of the men’s 10m air rifle final but ended up having to bow out in fourth place. He was thus unable to win a second medal for India at the Paris Olympics after fellow shooter Manu Bhaker won bronze on Sunday in women’s 10m air piston.

Meanwhile, Manu built on her bronze from yesterday, with a third-placed finish with Sarabjot Singh in the 10m air pistol mixed team qualification event. On the other hand, the other Indian team consisting of Rhythm Sangwan and Arjun Cheema, crashed out and failed to reach any of the medal matches.

Later, Arjun Babuta will be fighting for a medal in the men’s 10m air rifle final. Prithviraj Tondaiman will feature in the qualification round of men’s trap. Ramita Jindal was left disappointed as she finished in seventh position in the 10m women’s air rifle final, missing out on a medal on Day 3 on Monday. Jindal, who finished in fifth position in qualification, was tipped for a medal and started off strongly, but her impact waned away in the second-half as she exited early.

Meanwhile in badminton, Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto fell to a second straight defeat in their women’s doubles group match and their campaign now hangs by a thread. Lakshya Sen, whose win vs Kevin Cordon has been deleted after the Guatemala shuttler pulled out of Paris 2024 due to injury, will have his second group match and will need to hit the restart button.
