A day filled with heartbreak for India as Lakshya Sen and the shotgun skeet mixed team failed to secure medals on August 5 at the Paris Olympics 2024.

Following their thrilling victory against Great Britain, the Indian men’s hockey team aims to reach the final. They will face Germany in the semi-final, scheduled to start at 10:30 pm Indian time. The team seeks to make it to the Olympics final for the first time since 1980.
