Skeet Mixed Team Qualification: Lakshya Sen will aim to add a fourth medal to India's tally as he will take on Malaysia's Zii Jia Lee in the bronze medal match of the men's singles in the Paris Olympics on Monday.

Lakshya failed to overcome Denmark's Viktor Axelsen in the semifinal clash on Sunday and went down fighting 20-22, 14-21 in straight games. He became the first Indian men's shuttler to reach the Olympics semifinal.

However, he still has the chance to create history by winning a medal to become the first male shuttler to do so. Saina Nehwal (bronze in London 2012 Olympics) and PV Sindhu (silver in Rio 2016 Olympics and bronze in Tokyo 2020 Olympics) are the only two female shuttlers to win an Olympic medal for India in badminton.
