Shuttler Lakshya Sen: Shuttler Lakshya Sen stormed into the quarterfinals of the men's singles event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with a commanding straight games victory over compatriot H.S. Prannoy. The all-Indian clash at the La Chapelle Arena on Thursday saw Sen dominate from start to finish, winning 21-12, 21-6 in just 39 minutes.

The 22-year-old Sen secured the opening game in 21 minutes. The second game was even more one-sided, as Sen's aggressive play overwhelmed Prannoy, who struggled to find answers to his younger opponent's relentless attacks. Sen clinched the second game with a resounding 21-6 score, sealing his place in the last eight.

In the first game, Lakshya opened a 5-1 lead and though Prannoy reduced the margin to 5-7, Sen won four points in a row to widen the gap to 10-5. Another four-point burst from 14-9 put the shuttler from Uttarakhand now training in Bengaluru, firmly on course to winning the first game.
