Paris Olympics 2024 Highlights Day 11: Look Back at Major Headlines, Match Results, Updated Medals Tally

What a day it has been for the Indian contingent at the Paris Olympics 2024! After quite a few days without any medal, we finally have an assurance of a fourth as Vinesh Phogat gets set to compete in the women's wrestling 50kg final. The ace wrestler produced a series of superb performances, one of those which came against Tokyo Olympic gold medal winner Yui Susaki to become the first Indian woman to enter the final of a wrestling event at the Olympic Games. With a silver already assured, Phogat is now just one win away from scripting history and becoming the first Indian wrestler to win an Olympic gold medal. Neeraj Chopra also gave the assurance that he is here for a second consecutive gold medal when he topped the charts in the men's javelin throw qualification round with a massive throw of 89.34m. Unfortunately, the Indian men's table tennis bowed out of the round of 16 with a loss to China and later, the men's hockey team lost their semifinal match against Germany. PR Sreejesh and co still can win the bronze medal when they face Spain. There's a lot of action to look forward to on August 7 which includes Vinesh Phogat, Mirabai Chanu and Avinash Sable among a long list of others to watch out for.
