Indian boxer in Paris Olympics

Indian boxers faced a disappointing day at the Paris 2024 Olympics, with Jaismine Lamboria, Amit Panghal, and Preeti Pawar all eliminated from competition. Lamboria lost to Philippines' Nesthy Petecio in the women's 57 kg round of 32, suffering a unanimous 0-5 defeat despite her height advantage. Amit Panghal was also knocked out after a split decision loss to Zambia's Patrick Chinyemba in the men's 51 kg round of 16. Preeti Pawar, competing later, was defeated by Colombia's Yeni Marcela Arias in the women's 54 kg category. The Indian boxing contingent, which included six athletes, faced significant challenges as they continued their quest for Olympic medals. The performance of other boxers, like Nikhat Zareen, who advanced in her category, offered a glimmer of hope for India in the tournament.
