Heartbreak for India: Lakshya Sen Misses Bronze in Paris Olympics Men's Badminton

India's young star badminton player Lakshya Sen, who came to fight for the bronze medal in men's singles in the Paris Olympics, missed the bronze medal.

Lakshya Sen, who made a great start against the world's number-7 player, won the first game very easily by 21-12. But in the next two games, Lakshya, who was playing with an injury in his hand, made mistake after mistake.

There were a lot of unnecessary mistakes from his side. The result was that Zi Jia had no problem in winning the next two games 21-16, 21-11. And in this way, the dream of crores of Indians to see Lakshya win the bronze medal was also shattered.

If Lakshya had won this match, he would have become the first Indian male badminton player to win a medal in the Olympic Games.

India has lost two medals today. Lakshya Sen not only missed out on winning the bronze, but India also faced disappointment in shooting. Maheshwari Chauhan and Anantjeet Singh could not win the bronze medal in the Skeet Mixed Team event.

Anantjeet-Maheshwari were defeated by Chinese players in the bronze medal match. India has won three bronze medals in Paris Olympics so far, which were won by shooters.
