PARIS OLYMPICS 2024 GOLF

Women’s Individual Strokeplay – Both Indian Golfers Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar failed to make it to the Top 10 after performing poorly in Round 3 and Round 4 and ended the final round in T29 and T49 positions. Lydia Ko of New Zealand clinched the gold medal.

PARIS OLYMPICS 2024 WRESTLING

Women’s 76 kg Freestyle Wrestling – Reetika Hooda fought well against the World No.1 Aiperi Medet but lost the bout in the Quarter Finals. The bout ended 1-1 but Aiperi won it due to scoring the last point.

With this loss, India’s campaign at the Paris Olympics came to an end with India securing a total of 6 medals (1 Silver, 6 Bronze). However, India could get one more silver if the Court of Arbitration (CAS) rule in favour of Vinesh Phogat. Vinesh had appealed to them after being disqualified from the finals of the 50 kg category in freestyle wrestling due to weighing a mere 100 grams over the required weight.
