Paris Olympics: Lakshya Sen Misses Out On Historic Bronze With Defeat To Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia

Lee Zii Jia: Lakshya Sen missed out on what could have been a historic bronze medal for India as he lost 1-2 against World No.7 Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia, doing down 21-13, 16-21, 11-21 in a heart-breaking bronze medal encounter which carried on for a total of 71 minutes.

A case of nerves seemed to be playing in Lakshya’s mind in his loss in the semifinals against Viktor Axelsen but that did not seem to be the case in the bronze medal match. Lakshya Sen also had a lot in his favour as he held a 4-1 head-to-head advantage against his Malaysian opponent going into Monday's match.

In the first game of the bronze medal match, Sen started on a strong foot and took the lead with a 21-13 win.
