Paris Olympics 2024, Day 8 Highlights: It was another medalless day for India in the Summer Games.
That's it then from our coverage of India at Paris Olympics 2024. A medalless day. A day which promised so much but by the end of which India go back with the three medals that they had entered the day with. Nishant Dev could have assured a medal and even took the lead in the opening round but it was not to be. Manu Bhaker finished fourth in her third final. Deepika Kumari too let a medal chance slip away. But it's the Olympics and such heartbreaks tend to happen. It was a pleasure trying to bring in these updates for you. We hope you liked it too. Thank you and good night.
