In wrestling, India's Reetika Hooda faced a quarterfinal defeat to Aiperi Medet Kyzy of Kyrgyzstan in a close bout.

On Day 14, India's medal tally increased from five to six as Aman Sehrawat clinched bronze in the men's 57kg freestyle wrestling category. The 21-year-old became the first wrestler from India to win a medal at Paris 2024, and also the youngest India grappler to ever do so. Becoming the seventh wrestler from India to get an Olympic medal, he joined an illustrious list, containing KD Jadhav, Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and Ravi Dahiya.
Meanwhile in athletics, the men's and women's 4x400m relay teams got knocked out, as they faltered in their respective heats. In golf, Aditi and Diksha ended round 3 in T40 and T42 respectively.
