Paris Olympics 2024: Lakshya's Hard Work Wasted, First Win Not Counted Due To This Badminton Rule | Sports Live

India’s badminton star Lakshya Sen faced a setback as his first win at the Paris Olympics 2024 was deemed invalid. Despite his impressive performance on July 27, where he defeated Guatemala's Kevin Cordon with scores of 21-8 and 22-20, his victory was not recognized due to a rule violation. This initial win had uplifted the spirits of other Indian athletes, but the disqualification could demoralize them as well. Lakshya Sen was competing in Group L of the men’s singles, which included four players, with Kevin Cordon also being part of the same group. The invalidation of Lakshya’s win not only affected him but also had potential repercussions on the morale of the Indian contingent.
