Paris 2024: Five things to watch out for on Monday | Olympic Games

NEW DELHI: Shooting could provide India with more medals on Monday as riflemen and marksmen take centre stage at the National Shooting Centre in Chateauroux. There is also a chance to win the first-ever Olympic medal in archery. The men’s archery team enter their quarter-final elimination round on Sunday.

Here are five things to watch out for during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris on Monday:

To shoot

All eyes are on Manu Bhaker, who gave India their first medal in Paris on Sunday. Today, she teams up with Sarabjot Singh in the 10m air pistol mixed team qualifier. Ramita Jindal (women) and Arjuna Babuta (men) will be seen in the 10m air rifle final, while Prithviraj Tondaiman is all set to fire his shots in the men’s trap qualifier.

Time: from 12.45 pm

Hockey

After beating New Zealand 3-2 in their Group B opener, the Indian men’s hockey team will have to step up their game against Argentina. The Rio 2016 champions gave a top team like Australia a run for their money despite losing 1-0. Another win will take India closer to the quarter-finals.
