Badminton: Lakshya Sen Falters Again, Bronze Medal Slips Out Of Hand

India shuttler Lakshya Sen's remarkable campaign concluded on a disappointing note after he narrowly missed out on the bronze medal in the men's singles event at the ongoing Paris Olympics on Monday.

Lakshya Sen, just like many other India athletes, stood on the cusp of making history at the Paris Olympics. He was in contention for becoming the first Indian shuttler to win a medal in the men's singles event at the Olympics.

However, he came close but ended up too far from etching his name in the history books following his 2113, 16-21, 11-21 loss against Malaysia's Zii Jia Lee and finished fourth in the event.

With Jia on the service and Sen on the receiving end, an intense rally between the two shuttlers unfolded to begin the proceedings for the bronze medal match.

The Malaysian shuttler hit it too long beyond the backline to allow the Lakshya to take the first set.
