Summary

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 2 highlights: Manu Bhaker became the first Indian woman to win a medal in shooting at the Olympics. Badminton ace PV Sindhu secured an easy win in her campaign opener.

Manu Bhaker won bronze to open India's medal account; Rafael Nadal and LeBron James were also in action on Day 2 of the Summer Games

Relying on the teachings of the Bhagwat Gita, Manu Bhaker ended India's 12-year wait by shooting bronze at the 2024 edition of the Olympics on Sunday. Ace shuttler PV Sindhu began her campaign with a dominant win by defeating Maldives' Razzaq in her women's singles first-round match on Day 2 of the Paris Olympics 2024. India's Ramita Jindal made the cut in 10m air rifle women's qualification round, finishing in fifth position while Elavenil Valarivan missed out by finishing 10th. On the other hand, Sreeja Akula defeated Chirstina Kallberg of Sweden 4-0 (11-4, 11-9, 11-7, 11-8) to enter the women's singles round of 32....Read More

Manu Bhaker lands India's first medal with air pistol bronze

Expectations were high for Manu Bhaker, who became the first Indian woman shooter to claim an Olympic medal in the women's 10m air pistol event. From a heartbreak in Tokyo, where her gun malfunctioned, Bhaker completed her redemption by winning bronze to get India off the mark on the medal tally. The 22-year-old became the first Indian woman to win a medal in shooting at the Olympics.

Unseeded Nikhat Zareen to face reigning flyweight world champion

Nikhat Zareen, the two-time World Champion, also made her Olympic debut today. Easily India's best pugilist on show, Team India wants Nikhat to do what no boxer before her from the country has done – win either a gold or a silver medal. Lovlina Borgohain won a bronze at the Tokyo Games, but Nikhat is primed to go up a notch.

The fact that she has lost just two bouts in the last two years, during which she also claimed a bronze medal at last year's Asian Games is what makes her tough to beat. But the draws haven’t been too kind to Nikhat. She will face top seed Wu Yu of China in the next round. The top-seeded Asian Games and reigning flyweight world champion received a first-round bye.

Manika Batra bags easy win; Sharath Kamal sufferers shock exit

In table tennis, Manika Batra recorded a 4-1 win in the opener. Sharath Kamal suffered a shock exit from the Paris Olympics men's singles competition, losing 2-4 to lower-ranked Deni Kozul of Slovenia.

Corporate houses need to step up and support sports other than cricket in India. But I can't say that it's not being done. It's definitely improving, but there's still a lot of work to be done."
