As the Paris Olympics 2024 progresses, Indian athletes are poised for significant achievements, particularly in boxing and badminton. Lovlina Borgohain is set to face China's Li Qian in the women's 75kg quarterfinals, aiming for her second Olympic medal after her bronze in Tokyo 2020. Meanwhile, Lakshya Sen has already made history as the first Indian male badminton player to reach the Olympic semi-finals by defeating Chou Tien-chen, and he is now on the brink of securing a medal against Denmark's Viktor Axelsen. Both athletes have garnered immense support from their home states, with Lovlina's family receiving prayers from villagers in Assam. The Indian contingent has had a strong start, securing three medals in shooting, marking a record for the country. As Day 9 of the Olympics unfolds, hopes are high for further successes in various sports, including hockey and golf.
