The journey of the Indian team in Paris Olympics 2024 has ended with 6 medals. A total of 117 Indian players had reached Paris to participate in this year's Olympics. This time the performance of the Indian players was mixed. India won 5 bronze and 1 silver medal out of 6. At the same time, the decision on Vinesh Phogat's medal is yet to come. Vinesh Phogat, who participated in the 50 kg event of women's wrestling, was disqualified before the final, which broke the heart of every Indian. But in the Paris Olympics, apart from Vinesh Phogat, 6 more Indian players missed the medal after coming very close to it.

Arjun Babuta

This time Arjun Babuta could have won the 10 meter air rifle event. He missed the bronze medal by a very small margin and finished fourth. He was in contention for silver by being in second place after the initial 11 rounds, but due to 3 bad shots, his dream of winning the medal was shattered.

manu bhaker

Manu Bhaker won bronze in the 10 meter air pistol. Then Manu Bhaker also won bronze in the mixed team event. But Manu lost in the shootout of the women's 25 meter pistol event and was eliminated. In this way, Manu narrowly missed her third medal and finished fourth.

Mirabai Chanu

Something similar was seen with Mirabai Chanu in weightlifting. Mirabai, who competed in the 49 kg weight category, was eliminated at the Paris Olympics at the fourth place. She failed to win the bronze medal by just 1 kg. Last time Mirabai Chanu won the silver medal in the Olympics.

Dheeraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhakat

India's archery pair Dheeraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhakat also remained just 1 step away from winning a medal. In the bronze medal match of the mixed team event, the American pair of Casey Kaufhold and Brady Ellison defeated the Indian pair 6-2, due to which their campaign also ended at fourth place in the Paris Olympics.

Maheshwari Chauhan and Anantjit Singh Naruka

Maheshwari Chauhan and Anantjeet Singh Naruka also faced defeat in the bronze medal match of the Skeet Mixed Team event. The Indian pair had to face defeat by only 1 point in this match, otherwise they could have won the bronze medal.

Lakshya Sen

Badminton player Lakshya Sen also remained steps away from the medal. Lakshya Sen had to face defeat against Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia 21-13, 16-21, 11-21 in the bronze medal match. Lakshya Sen had taken the lead in every set, but even after this he lost.
