Sports News : The results of the eighth day of the Paris Olympics were not good for the Indian team, but India is expected to secure two medals on Sunday's ninth day. India is expected to secure medals from Lovlina Borgohain in boxing and Lakshya Sen in badminton. At the same time, the Indian men's hockey team will face Britain in the quarter-finals. If the team successfully wins this match, it will move one step forward for the medal.
A difficult challenge in front of Lakshya and Lovlina Lakshya
will face Victor Axelsen in the semi-finals. Both the players have clashed eight times so far, and Lakshya and Axelsen have a win-loss record of 1-7. Looking at the record, Axelsen is a tough challenge for Lakshya, but with his form, it is expected that Lakshya can successfully ensure at least a silver medal for the country. Lakshya is the first male singles player to reach the semi-final race in the Olympics. On the other hand, Lovlina will face the challenge of China's Li Qian. Lovlina faced defeat against Qian in the women's 75 kg final of the Asian Games. If Lovlina successfully wins this match, she will secure the bronze medal.
