Turkey’s Zeynep Yetgil beat Indian wrestler Antim Panghal 10-0 in the women’s 53kg freestyle round of 16 bout.

The Turkish wrestler, however, crashed out in the quarter-final against Annika Wendle of Germany, who secured a victory by fall.

Antim, as a result, will not feature in the repechage round, ending her Paris 2024 campaign.

Aditi Ashok is Tied 3rd in the Women's Individual Stroke Play Round 1 golf event. A solid start from the Asian games silver medallist. Still plenty of work to be done as we are at just 12 holes.

Antim will now hope to compete for the bronze medal via repechage, if Zeynep reaches the final.

India has also seen disappointing performance in table tennis. Manika Batra and Sreeja lost.

Germany has registered victory. India's challenge in table tennis is now over.

Archana Kamath has helped India to stay alive in the competition vs Germany in the Table tennis women's team Quarter Finals. 

Upto Sreeja and Manika to pull this off for India and pave a way for the semi-finals.

The first three in each heat, along with the next best three overall, will advance to the semi-final. The remainder, who finish the races, will make the repechage round.

After trailing 0-1 in the first game, Indian paddlers Sreeja Akula and Archana Kamath hold their nerves and bounce back in style to clinch the second game.

The second games shows a different side of Team India as the paddlers were much confident. They claimed the second game with a scoreline of 11-8. The first match is currently levelled 1-1. 

In the first game of Match No 1, India face heartbreak as Sreeja Akula and Archana Kamath's hard work goes in vain.
