Neeraj Chopra will begin his olympics captain on Day 10. India has a chance to create history in the Olympics.
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.
A lot of action awaits the Indian contingent on August 6, with athletes competing in athletics, wrestling, table tennis, and hockey. Neeraj Chopra will also begin his campaign on the 11th day of the Paris Olympics.

Neeraj Chopra and Kishore Jena will start their Olympic campaigns in the qualifying rounds. Chopra, the Tokyo Olympics gold medallist, is placed in Group B and will compete from 3:20 pm Indian time. Jena, in Group A, will start at 1:50 pm. If successful in the qualifiers, they will compete in the final on August 8 at 11:00 pm.
Hockey: Time to rewrite history
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.
