India's Full Schedule, Medal Events At Paris Olympics 2024, August 5: India will look to add another medal to their kitty as Lakshya Sen takes on Malaysia's Zii Jia Lee in the badminton men's singles bronze medal match. Lakshya was defeated by Viktor Axelsen of Denmark in the semifinals but he will have another chance to clinch his maiden Olympics medal. The Indian women's team will also be in action in table tennis as they face Romania in the pre-quarterfinal clash. Wrestling campaign begins for India as Nisha Dahiya will take part in Women's 68kg Freestyle. 

India's Avinash Sable, who won the gold medal in Asian Games, would also be in action today, hoping to earn his first ever medal in the Olympic Games.
