India at 2024 Olympics, Day 2 as it happened: Manu Bhaker wins bronze; women’s archery team lose

That’s it for Scroll’s coverage of Day 2 of the 2024 Paris Olympics Games.

What a day it has been! Manu Bhaker put India on the medal table with a bronze in the women’s individual 10m air pistol event. It was a win that made her the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in shooting, and the first Indian shooter since London 2012 to climb on the podium.

Bhaker will be back again tomorrow, as four medals are possible for India to win on Day 3 of the Games. Ramita Jindal will compete in the women’s 10m air rifle final, while Arjun Babuta will fight for a podium spot in the men’s air rifle event.

The men’s archery team will also be in medal contention.

Day 2 however, did also have a few misses – none, perhaps, more disappointing than the women’s archery team’s exit in the quarter-final stage.

And in the last event of the night that featured Indians, Rohan Bopanna and N Sriram Balaji’s loss in the first round of the men’s doubles tennis event meant India’s campaign in the sport ended early.

Still a long way to go in this Olympic Games, with plenty of positives still to come.

Join us tomorrow for live action from Day 3.

Tennis, men's doubles: India's tennis campaign ends at the Olympics. After Sumit Nagal lost to a Frenchman, Corentin Moutet earlier today, the Indian doubles team of Rohan Bopanna and N Sriram Balaji go down 5-7, 2-6 to the French team of Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Gael Monfils.

Tennis, men's doubles: The French team are now just one game away from the win. N Sriram Balaji will serve on the other side of the break to keep India in the match. India trail 2-5 in the second set.

Tennis, men's doubles: Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Gael Monfils turn on the heat. The French team pile up the pressure and get the early break on N Sriram Balaji's serve – at love – in the fourth game of the second set. France up 3-1.

Tennis, men's doubles: Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Gael Monfils get the break at the crucial moment. N Sriram Balaji was serving at 5-6 to keep the Indians in the set, which is when the French players turn on the pressure and got the break to take the first set 7-5.

Tennis, men's doubles: And the Indians are back immediately! They break Roger-Vasselin's serve and are now 3-4 on serve.

Tennis, men's doubles: Bopanna's serve is broken. The French team go up 4-2 in the first set. This isn't just a tricky French team, of Gael Monfils and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, that the Indians are playing. They are also competing against a partisan home crowd.

Tennis, men's doubles: There's a change of court for Bopanna and Balaji's match. They've now been shifted to Court 14, and the match is underway!

Tennis, men's doubles: Only one event left for today featuring Indians. Rohan Bopanna and N Sriram Balaji will take on the French team of Gael Monfils and Edouard Roger-Vasselin. The match will be held on Court 7 of Roland Garros after the ongoing men's singles match between Milos Raonic and Dominik Koepfer.

Table Tennis, men's singles: Not a lot Harmeet Desai could do against Felix Lebrun with such a massive crowd to back him up. The Indian goes down 8-11, 8-11, 6-11, 9-11 in straight games as Indian challenge in the event ends.

Table Tennis, men's singles: Harmeet Desai is playing not too badly, but Felix Lebrun is a class apart. The French world No 5 leads 3-0, having won the first three games 11-8, 11-8, 11-6. Desai has to act quickly, a game more and he'll be out of the event.

Table Tennis, men's singles: After having won the preliminary round yesterday, Harmeet Desai finds himself in the main draw. He goes up against a higher ranked Felix Lebrun of France in R64. The match is expected to start at 11.30pm IST.

Remember, Desai is the only Indian men’s singles paddler remaining in contention as veteran Achanta Sharath Kamal crashed out earlier today.

Badminton, men's singles: Kevin Cordon withdraws from the Olympics with an elbow injury. This is the same player Lakshya Sen had beaten 21-8, 22-20 on Saturday to open his campaign. Sen’s result against Cordon now stands cancelled. The Indian will have to win his next two matches to stand a chance of advancing to the knockouts

Tennis, men’s singles: Rafael Nadal has booked a mouth-watering second round match in the men's singles event against long-time rival Novak Djokovic. Two of the greatest players the game has ever seen will now meet for a 60th time.

Badminton, men’s singles: HS Prannoy wraps up the match in 45 minutes. He beats Fabian Roth 21-18, 21-12 in straight games. The Indian was made to work hard in the opening game, but fought his way through it. Not too shabby for an Olympic debut from Prannoy.

Badminton, men’s singles: Much, much better from HS Prannoy and he seems to have grown in confidence now. Also, playing from the better side of the court now. He takes an 11-6 lead at the mid-game interval. Should be a simple win from here on, unless Fabian Roth has something special up his sleeves.

Badminton, men’s singles: HS Prannoy tidies up when it matters. He tried playing it slow, lifting the shuttle in the air but it did not really work out. Changes his gameplan and rushes to the net to kill off points as early as possible. He takes the opening game 21-18.

Badminton, men’s singles: A very tough battle this between Prannoy and Roth. Neither players willing to give an inch and we are being treated to some very long rallies. The Indian, playing from the near end, has managed to eke out an 11-10 lead at the mid-game interval.

Badminton, men’s singles: HS Prannoy is all set to open his campaign in Paris. He is up against Fabian Roth of Germany. The duo has never went head to head, but the Indian is way higher ranked than his opponent. Stay tuned!

Shooting, Olympics 2024: Manu Bhaker gets ‘monkey off her back’ to create history in Paris

The first Olympic medal won by an Indian woman in shooting. The first shooting medal won by an Indian at the Olympics since London 2012. The first medal won by an Indian at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Manu Bhaker’s redemption arc is complete, writes Shahid Judge.

Tennis, men’s singles: Sumit Nagal’s Paris Olympics ends with a first-round loss to local favourite Corentin Moutet. In a close third set, neither player dropped their serve at the start. However, Mouotet found a way to break Nagal’s serve in the penultimate game and closed out a hard-fought 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 win. Nagal fought bravely against the home favourite who had the vocal backing of the crowd. But a momentary lapse in concentration spelt the end of his tournament.

Archery, women’s team: This is some poor shooting from Bhakat. She starts the third set with a very wide 4. Has a chat with coach Poornima Mahanto. India end with 48 points leaving the Dutch with 19 points to win off three arrows. And they do it nonchalantly! The Dutch beat India 6-0 and storm into the semi-finals! A very poor outing for India and especially Bhakat who had been excellent in the qualification. India were in with a good shot of winning a medal. Instead, they have crashed out spectacularly in the quarter-finals.

Archery, women’s team: Much better from India to start the second set! Bhakat and Kaur shoots 10s each but Kumari can only shoot an eight. The Dutch respond with two eights and a nine. Oh two horror shots from Bhakat and Kumari as they both shoot 6s while Kaur shoots a nine. The Dutch are given a lifeline and they grab it to win the second set 53-49!

Archery, women’s team: Kaur shoots a 10 in the middle of a seven each from Bhakat and Kumari. Not the best of starts for Indian. All three follow it up with three 9s. The Dutch shoot four nines, one eight and one set to clinch the first set 52-51.

Archery, women’s team: Manu Bhaker created history today becoming the first Indian female shooter to win an Olympic medal. The trio of Ankita Bhakat, Deepika Kumari and Bhajan Kaur can write history themselves today if they win a medal in the women’s team event. The trio finished fourth in the qualifying event and received a bye into the quarter-finals. They will face the Netherlands who beat France 6-0 in the round of 16. Win this and they will likely face South Korea, who have won gold in this event at every Olympic Games.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: She was made to work hard, but Manika Batra prevails. She beats Anna Hursey 11-8, 12-10, 11-9, 9-11, 11-5 in a 41-minute long contest.

Batra makes it to the Olympic Round of 32 for the second straight time!

Tennis, men’s singles: Sumit Nagal wins the second set 6-2 forces a third and deciding set against Corentin Moutet! Props to Nagal for shutting out the noise from the partisan crowd and focusing on himself. Moutet did himself no favours by overusing his underhand serve and giving away points.

Men’s Basketball: Making their Olympic debut, South Sudan men’s basketball team has defeated Puerto Rico 90-79 for their first-ever win.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Manika Batra is denied a straight games win. Anna Hursey takes the fourth game 11-9 to keep herself in the hunt.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Manika Batra is on a roll in Paris. She wins the third game 11-9 and is leading 3-0. She is just a game away from the Round of 32.

Swimming, women’s 200m freestyle: Dhinidhi Desinghu wins her heat with a timing of 2:06.96s, but she is 23rd fastest overall. The youngest Indian in contention at the Paris Games is eliminated.

Swimming, men’s 100m backstroke: India’s Srihari Nataraj finishes second in his heat with a timing of 55.01s. But, he is eliminated. Top 16 fastest swimmers overall advance to semi-finals. Srihari is 33rd.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Manika Batra is given a run for her money in the second game by Anna Hursey. But, the Indian comes out on top 12-10 to take a 2-0 lead.

Archery, women's team: By virtue of finishing fourth in the team seedings, the Indian women's team will begin their campaign directly in the quarter-finals at 5.45PM IST and face the Netherlands, who beat the hosts France 6-0. Should they beat the Dutch, India will take on reigning champions South Korea in the semi-final.

Tennis, men’s singles: Sumit Nagal is in action in the men’s singles first round against Frenchman Corentin Moutet. On the back of a vociferous home support, Moutet won the first set 6-2.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Manika Batra is off to a comfortable start against Great Britain’s Anna Hursey in their Round of 64 clash. The Indian wins the opening game 11-8.

"I feel great, it was a long due medal for India and I was just a mode. India deserves more medals...the entire team has worked really hard. Personally it is a surreal feeling, we had put in a lot of efforts. This is a bronze, I am really happy but hopefully I’ll be able to better next time. I read a lot of [Bhagvad] Gita and all...what was going through my mind was to do what I have to do and not focus on the outcome. After Tokyo I was really disappointed, it took me long time to overcome that. What is now is what matters...the past remains in past. As soon as the qualification round was over, I was looking forward to the final. I had worked hard. So happy so many people come to cheer for me cheer for India. Honestly I hope India wins as many medals as possible. We have worked really hard to come this far and stand here. Leave all the destiny and outcome on god and give your best. I can't explain how good I feel. At the same time I have many more matches to shoot."

— Manu Bhaker after winning India's first medal in Paris

Boxing, women's 50kg: Nikhat Zareen defeats Carina Kloetzer by a 5:0 unanimous decision to advance to the Round of 16! A stunning turnaround after trailing in Round 1, she came back strong in the next two to consolidate her lead then. A delicious bout to say the least and props to Kloetzer for a strong show despite the deficit in the second round.

Table Tennis, men’s singles: Achanta Sharath Kamal bows out in Round of 64. He loses 12-10, 9-11, 6-11, 7-11, 10-12 after winnning the first game.

Boxing, women's 50kg: A warning each to Kloetzer and Zareen and it's almost like this round was in fast-forward. Some powerful blows from the Indian but Kloetzer has moved from relaxed to super energetic. The accuracy prevails for Nikhat though as she comes back strongly in the third round to take it on all five cards!

Shooting, men's 10m air rifle qualification: And it's confirmed. Arjun Babuta has qualified for the 10m air rifle final by finishing in seventh place. A final series score of 104.6 was enough to cement his top 8 place. Meanwhile, a good fightback from Sandeep Singh sees him score 106, but the fightback comes too late as he finishes 12th.

Boxing, women's 50kg: A really close opening round but Carina Kloetzer takes it on three cards! The German seems to be the more relaxed one, also flashing a smile in the midst of it all but Nikhat will not back down.

Shooting, women's 10m air pistol final: Manu Bhaker gave herself a good chance of getting a silver medal. She shot a solid 10.3 in her last shot. Yeji Kim needed 10.5 to overtake Bhaker, and the Korean shot just that. There is a sense of disappointment on Bhaker's face. She wanted to take another step on the podium. But what she has done is not short of historical nonetheless. She is now the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in shooting!

Boxing, women's 50kg: In action now will be two-time World Champion Nikhat Zareen against Germany's Carina Kloetzer in the Round of 32. Zareen is one of India's biggest medal hopes in Paris but she has been handed a tough draw. The Telangana boxer would be aiming for a smooth win in the opening round to receive the confidence she needs going forward into the tournament.

Shooting, women's 10m air pistol final: Bhaker is close to securing a podium spot now. She's shot 181.2 over 18 shots and is 2.4 points ahead of the shooter in fourth place. She trail's second placed Kim Yeji by half a point.

Shooting, women's 10m air pistol final: Bhaker is third now with 160.9 after 16 shots. She's a full point ahead of fourth placed Trinh of Vietnam. But she trails Korea's Ye Jin Oh by 0.8.

Table Tennis, men’s singles: Achanta Sharath Kamal concedes the fourth game 7-11. He needs to win the next one or else he’ll crash out.

Shooting, women's 10m air pistol final: Not a good series from Manu Bhaker, who scores 9.8 on each of her two shots. She's in joint third place now with 140.8 points, along with Vietnam's Thu Vinh Trinh after 14 shots.

Shooting, women's 10m air pistol final: Veronica Major from Hungary is out first. Manu Bhaker meanwhile moves up to second place with 121.2 points, behind only Korea's Yeji Kim on 121.8.

Shooting, women's 10m air pistol final: After the first two series, Manu Bhaker is in third place with 100.3. Now the elimination rounds will begin, with a shooter eliminated after every two shots.

Table Tennis, men’s singles: Kozul Deni continues to control the proceedings as he pockets the third game 11-6 to take a 2-1 lead. Can Achanta Sharath Kamal fightback?

Shooting, men's 10m air rifle qualification: Much better from Sandeep Singh who moves up to 12th place after a score of 105.4 in the fifth series. Arjun Babuta maintains his spot in the top 8 with a score of 104 in the fifth series. Final series to go.

Shooting, women’s 10m air pistol final: At the end of the first five shots, Manu Bhaker scored 50.4 and is in second position.

Shooting, women’s 10m air pistol final: Karnam Malleshwari, Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, Sakshi Malik, Mirabai Chanu. Will Manu Bhaker add her name to the list of Indian women’s Olympic medallists today? It will not be easy in the women’s 10m air pistol final, but if there is no one more suited to the high pressure situation of a final in the Indian contingent than Bhaker.

Shooting, women's 10m air pistol final: It's time! Each of the eight finalists will shoot two series of five shots each, after that the individual shots will take place which will see competitors getting eliminated.

Shooting, men's 10m air rifle qualification: Arjun Babuta maintains his sixth place with a score of 105.4 in the fourth series. Sandeep Singh improves slightly after his fourth series and goes to 25th place.

Table Tennis, men’s singles: Kozul Deni is putting up a brilliant fight against Achanta Sharath Kamal. The Indian concedes the second game 9-11 as the Slovakian equalises.

Shooting, women’s 10m air pistol final: Her Olympic debut in Tokyo was a rather forgettable one. But Manu Bhaker picked herself up and proved she was the best in the country in her disciplines. She made it to the final of the women’s air pistol event, and she could become the first Indian to stand on the podium in Paris 2024. The final is slated to start at 3:30pm IST. Stay tuned!

Table Tennis, men’s singles: Achanta Sharath Kamal is in action now in what is his campaign opener. He is made to work hard in the first game by Deni Kozul, but manages to pocket it 12-10.

Shooting, men's 10m air rifle qualification: Arjun Babuta picks up again with a score of 105.5 in the third series. He's currently in sixth place. Sandeep Singh has had a good third series as well, shooting 105.5 to move up to 27th place.

Tennis, men's singles: Sumit Nagal will be out on Court 7 at Roland Garros to compete at his second Olympic Games. He will take on world No 68 Corentin Moutet of France. The left-hander, who was born in Paris, will be a tricky opponent. The match is expected to start at 3.30 pm.

Shooting, men's 10m air rifle qualification: Slight dip from Arjun Babuta in the second series, picking up a score of 104.9. Sandeep Singh had a good start to the series, but his last shot of 9.9 let him down. He scored 104.0.

Shooting, men's 10m air rifle qualification: Strong start from Arjun Babuta in the first series, with a score of 105.7 to move up to third spot. Sandeep Singh meanwhile has had a quieter start, with his eight shot being a 9.8. But he did recover with a perfect 10.9 in his final shot. He scored 103.6 in the first series.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Sreeja Akula leads 10-3 and has seven match points. She fumbles under pressure as Christina Kallberg saves five in a row. An unforced error from the Swedish paddler follows and the Indian has won the fourth game 11-8.

Sreeja Akula beats Christina Kallberg 11-4, 11-9, 11-7, 11-8 and moves into R32.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Sreeja Akula dominating the proceedings now. She is in complete control as she pockets the third game 11-7. Just a game away from advancing to Round of 32 is the Indian.

Shooting, men's 10m air rifle qualification: Sandeep Singh and Arjun Babuta will be in action now. Just like Ramita Jindal and Elavenil Valarivan earlier, they will also hope to erase the disappointment from the mixed event yesterday. Only the top 8 from the list of 49 will make it to the final. Once again, each shooter will take 60 shots across six series.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Much better from Chirstina Kallberg in the second game, but she crumbles under pressure with late errors. Two points in a row for Sreeja, which helps her take the game 11-9 after being level at 9-9. The Indian leads 2-0 now.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Sreeja Akula, on her Olympic debut, looks rather calm. She is in control of the proceedings as well and pockets the opening game 11-4.

Table Tennis, women’s singles: Sreeja Akula is the first Indian paddler in action on Day 2. She goes up against Sweden’s Christina Kallberg in a Round of 64 clash.

Table Tennis: Sreeja Akula and Manika Batra in women’s singles, Achanta Sharath Kamal in men’s singles will all start their 2024 Paris Olympics campaign today. Harmeet Desai, who had won his first round match on Saturday, will also return for his R64 match.

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: The finalists

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: Meanwhile Ramita Jindal, after her slow start, came into form at the right time. She is through to the final, finishing fifth in the qualification event with a total of 631.5.

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: What drama towards the end of that final series. Elavenil Valarivan had that in the bag, but with three shots to go, registered scores of 10.1, 9.8 and 10.3 for a total score of 103.8. From being in firm final contention, she dropped down to 10th place with a total of 630.7, and she's out of the competition.

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: Another 105.3 from Elavenil Valarivan in he fifth series. She's now a favourite to make it to the final with just one series to go. She's currently in fifth place and needs to be in the top 8. Ramita Jindal also scores 105.3 in the fifth series. She's currently in ninth.

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: Some improvement from Ramita Jindal, as she shoots 105.3 in the fourth series. Elavenil Valarivan recovers from a 9.9 shot to score a total of 105.3 in the fourth series. She's currently ranked 4th.

Rowing, men's single sculls, repechage: Good strong race from Balraj Panwar, even briefly taking the lead towards the end as he finished second in the second repechage men's singles sculls race. But that's good enough for him to qualify for the quarter-final.

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: Slight drop from Ramita Jindal in the third series, scoring 104.9 compared to the 106 she shot in the second series. She has currently dropped out of the top 8. Elavenil Valarivan though is still in finals contention, shooting 104.4, her lowest series so far.

Badminton, women's singles: There's the inevitable. PV Sindhu coasts along to a 21-9, 21-6 victory to open her campaign. Not even a contest for the Indian.

Rowing, men's single sculls, repechage: India's Balraj Panwar in action next. He will be competing in the second repechage race. Of the five competitors, only the top two in each race will progress to the quarter-final while the remaining will be out of medal contention.

Badminton, women's singles: Sindhu continues to cruise along. Fathimath Razzaq is of no match to the Indian, who takes an 11-3 lead at the second mid-game interval.

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: Both shooters have improved from their first series. Valarivan has shot 106.1 in the second compared to 105.8 in the first. Jindal meanwhile has shot 106.0 in the second compared to 104.3 in the first. Both are in contention of making it to the final. Four series to go!

Badminton, women’s singles: Sindhu continues her dominating run. A couple of good shots from Fathimath Razzaq, but you surely need much much more for a player of Sindhu's quality. The Indian takes the opening game 21-9 in 13 minutes.

Badminton, women's singles: A few errors from Sindhu to start off but she soon finds her rhythm. She wins seven points in a row to go from 4-4 to an 11-4 lead at the mid-game interval. No trouble whatsoever for the Indian.

Shooting, women's 10m air rifle qualification: Ramita Jindal starts off with a total score of 104.3 in the first series. But Elavenil Valarivan has had a solid start with a total of 105.8 – her worst shot was a 10.4.

Badminton, women's singles: Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu starts her Paris Games campaign today with an eye on a hat-trick of medals. She goes up against Fathimath Razzaq of Maldives. The duo has faced off only once – during Sindhu's run to the gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham – and the Indian breezed through in straight games. Expect something similar at the La Chapelle Arena today.

Shooting, women’s 10m air rifle qualification: Elavenil Valarivan and Ramita Jindal will hope to dust off the disappoint of yesterday from the air rifle mixed team event, as they compete in the individual qualifiers. Each of the 44 competitors will shoot a total of 60 shots across 6 series. The top 8 will move into the final.

Meanwhile, the Seine river has once again become too polluted to be used safely for swimming. As a result, organisers have cancelled the first training session for the triathlon event, claiming “The analysis carried out yesterday in the Seine showed water quality levels that... do not present sufficient guarantees to allow the event to take place.”

Organisers of the Paris Games had spent a lot of time and effort in trying to get the Seine clean enough for the Olympics.

The great Simone Biles will also be competing in gymnastics today!

Three-time Olympic gold medallist swimmer Adam Peaty will be in action today.

Plenty of action today, but for the Indian contingent, it starts with shooting, as Elavenil Valarivan and Ramita Jindal will look dust off the disappointment of the mixed team event from yesterday, and compete in the women's 10m air rifle qualification event, starting at 12.45 pm.

Soon after that, two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu will begin her quest for a third medal in women's singles badminton.

Later today, there are medals on offer with Manu Bhaker competing in the women's 10m air pistol final, and the women's archery team competing in the quarter-finals.

Full India schedule for Day 2

In tennis, legend Rafael Nadal is considering pulling out of the men’s singles event to concentrate on playing men’s doubles with Carlos Alcaraz. In singles, Nadal, who is possibly competing in his final year on the professional tour, is set to face Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics. A win there would see him face long-time rival Novak Djokovic in the second round.

Medal tally: Australia has taken an early lead in the medal standings with three gold medals, two silver against second-placed China’s two golds and a bronze. Meanwhile the United States are third with a gold, two silver and and as many bronze medals.

Can India get on the medal sheet today?

Hello and welcome to Scroll’s coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!

Manu Bhaker saved the Indian shooting contingent’s blushes on Saturday after reaching the final of the women’s 10m air pistol event. Bhaker was the only Indian shooter to reach the final with no Indians reaching the medals round in the 10m air rifle mixed team and the men’s individual 10m air pistol events. The 22-year-old was also the first Indian female shooter to reach an Olympic final since Suma Shirur in the women’s 10m air rifle final at Athens 2004.

Bhaker, who suffered heartbreak in Tokyo 2020, will have the chance to win India’s first medal today.

Also hoping to win a medal today will be the women’s archery team of Ankita Bhakat, Deepika Kumari and Bhajan Kaur. The fourth seeded trio will compete directly in the quarter-finals before potentially facing South Korea who have won gold in the event in every edition.

Shuttlers PV Sindhu and HS Prannoy begin their singles campaign today as do paddlers Sharath Kamal, Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula. World champion boxer Nikhat Zareen also begins her hunt for an Olympic medal today.

It’s going to be an action-packed day!
