India at Paris Olympics Game 2024: Indian hopes were dashed as PV Sindhu was defeated by He Bingjiao in the women’s singles round of 16 badminton match at La Chapelle Arena.
World No. 13 Sindhu, who had previously secured a bronze medal at Tokyo 2020 by overcoming He Bingjiao, was unable to replicate her success in Paris. The sixth-seeded Chinese player, He Bingjiao, proved too strong for Sindhu despite the Indian shuttler’s commendable effort.
Sindhu’s Bid for a Historic Third Olympic Medal Ends Early
Sindhu lost the first set 19-21 in a tightly contested match, and the second set saw her succumb to a 14-21 defeat. The loss ends Sindhu’s campaign at Paris 2024, falling short of her goal to win an unprecedented third Olympic medal.
He Bingjiao advances to the next round, continuing her pursuit of Olympic success. The defeat marks a disappointing turn for Sindhu and leaves Indian fans disheartened as their hopes for badminton glory in this year’s Olympics come to an early end.
