india had sent a total of 117 athletes for the paris olympics 2024, but most of the athletes have failed to win
medals this time too. india had won a total of 7 medals in the 2020 tokyo olympics, but this time the Indian
team may not even touch that figure. So far, only 3 medals have come in India's kitty. But in the meantime,
there are many athletes who were deprived of winning medals by a difference of one position or just one point.
It would not be wrong to call number 4 a curse for the indian team because even in the tokyo olympic games,
many indian athletes had to face disappointment by finishing fourth.
Number 4 a curse for India
- Lakshya Sen has become the latest victim of the fourth position. He faced Zi Jia Lee of malaysia in the
bronze medal match of the men's singles badminton event. After winning the first game 21-13, Lakshya lost
the next two games 16-21 and 11-21 respectively. Lakshya had to settle for fourth place in paris Olympics
2024.
-So far, 5 athletes/teams have missed out on medals by finishing fourth in paris olympics 2024. The first name
that comes to mind is manu Bhaker, who has won 2 bronze medals for india in the 2024 Olympic Games. But
when the final of the 25m pistol event came, manu had to settle for fourth place. manu Bhaker managed to
score 28 points as compared to the 31 points of the Hungarian shooter who finished third.
-Arjun Babuta also missed out on a medal. arjun Babuta performed very well in the 10m air rifle competition.
He qualified for the final with an amazing score of 630.1 in the qualification. But they could only score 208.4
in the final. Two bad shots in the 7th round of the final cost them dearly.
- In the mixed team competition of archery, the pair of Dheeraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhagat were
performing very well. In the semi-finals, they had to face a 6-2 defeat against the world's number-1 team
Korea. At the same time, a very shameful performance was seen from Dheeraj and Akita in the bronze medal
match, where they had to face a 6-2 defeat at the hands of USA. With this, this pair of Dheeraj-Ankita
remained at the fourth position.
- india could have won many medals in shooting, but the trend of being at the fourth position by a close margin
continued in skeet shooting as well. In the bronze medal match, this indian pair had to face defeat against
China by a margin of 43-44 i.e. just 1 point.
