India's Swapnil Kusale won a historic bronze medal in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions event at the Paris Olympics 2024, marking the country's third medal in these games, all from shooting. Kusale's achievement came on a day of mixed fortunes for the Indian contingent, as Lakshya Sen advanced to the men's singles badminton quarterfinals by defeating HS Prannoy, while PV Sindhu, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty, and boxer Nikhat Zareen were eliminated from their respective events. India's performance also saw setbacks in other sports, including disappointing results in shooting, hockey, and racewalking. Looking ahead, Indian athletes like Manu Bhaker and Tulika Maan are set to compete in their respective events, aiming to add to India’s medal tally.
