Manu Bhaker ends her Paris Olympics 2024 campaign with two Bronze medals.

On day 8 of the Paris Olympics 2024, double Bronze medallist Manu Bhaker finished 4th in the women's 25m pistol final. She missed the record third medal by a whisker. Nishant Dev, the only men's boxer left for India in Paris, lost his quarterfinal bout.

Paris Olympics 2024 MEDAL TALLY

Deepika Kumari placed herself in an advantageous position against Korea's Suhyeon Nam by winning two of the first three sets but shot a horrible 7 with the second arrow of the fourth set to throw away a great opportunity as India's archery campaign folded at the Paris Olympics here Saturday.

Deepika had begun the day well with a 6-4 win over Germany's Michelle Kroppen but lost by the same margin to Nam, who had won the women's team gold on Friday.

Teenager Bhajan Kaur was eliminated earlier in the day after losing her pre-quarterfinal match to Indonesia's Diananda Choirunisa in a shoot-off.

Competing in her fourth Olympics, Deepika yet again left the big stage empty-handed. However, there was no hype around her this time, following disappointments in London, Rio and Tokyo editions.

Nishant Dev, the only men's boxer left for India in Paris, will be hoping to clinch a medal late at night as he will be playing his men's 71kg quarter-final match at 12:18 AM IST (Aug 4).
