Indian fans were left extremely disappointed on Day 12 of the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024. Mirabai Chanu failed to add to India's medal tally as she narrowly missed out on a bronze. Mirabai bagged a best lift of 88kg in snatch, which put her in contention for bronze. But she managed only a best lift of 111kg ahead of the clean and jerk rounds, registering a total of 199kg. She finished in fourth position, missing out on a historic second Olympic medal.

Meanwhile in wrestling, Vinesh Phogat got disqualified from the women's 50kg gold medal match, as she failed to make the weight on the morning of the bout. She was reportedly found to be 100gm overweight. Phogat also retired a day after disqualification. Taking to X, she wrote, "Wrestling won match against me, I lost... Your dreams and my courage are shattered. I don't have any more strength now. Goodbye Wrestling 2001-2024. I will forever be indebted to all of you. Sorry".

Indi's disappointment in wrestling wasn't just restricted to Vinesh as Antim Panghal lost her women's 53kg Round of 16 bout. In table tennis, India, consisting of Sreeja Akula, Manika Batra and Archana Ghosh, lost 1-3 to Germany in the women's team table tennis quarter-final.

In athletics, there was plenty of action for India as Avinash Sable came 11th in the men's 3000m steeplechase final, with a time of 8:14:18s. Meanwhile, Jyothi Yarraji came seventh in the women's 100m hurdles heats.
