Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: The bout starts again and Pak quickly executes a takedown. She gets to 10 points and that is that. Nisha is wailing uncontrollably after the bout, the referee tries to pick her up. Eventually, it is Pak herself who consoles her opponent and pulls her up on her feet. Great display of sportsmanship there from the North Korean. There were a few boos that rang out in the arena right after that bout ended, let's hope it wasn't for Pak and if it was, let's hope those people's minds were changed shortly thereafter.

Nisha, like her idol and mentor Sakshi Malik, has shown just how much fight she has in her. She was in agonishing pain and yet she ground her teeth and went again, and again, and again. She still has a chance to make it to the bronze medal match via repechage, remember.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Pak takes full advantage of the situation. Rolls Nisha over multiple times and within a matter of seconds, she has levelled the scores at 8-8. Then Nisha needs more medical attention. She is in tears. This is a very hard watch. Somehow, Nisha grinds her teeth and goes again. She is leading by the tie-break rule.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Oh this is quite sad. Sol tries to push Nisha out of bounds. Nisha defends and then she starts screaming in agony. It looks like Nisha had broken a finger first and now she seems to have dislocated an elbow! More medical attention and she goes again. We are seeing an incredible warrior in action here.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Pak gets on board early after resumption but Nisha then manages to push the North Korean off the mat! She extends her lead to 6-1. Pak tries to grab her leg a few times, great defence from Nisha. Then the Indian gets a leg hold and manages to force an exposure! The lead increases to 8-1. Nisha could actually get a win by technical superiority here. But then the bout is stopped and Nisha is in some pain. She already has a strapping on her right shoulder.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Nisha snatches four points inside the first 25 seconds itself. She then manages to control the tempo of the bout, in spite of Pak's best efforts, and keeps the four-point lead going into the break after 2.5 mins.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: All right here we go! Nisha's quarterfinal bout against Pak Sol Gum is underway. Remember, Pak pulled off a major upset in her previous bout to get here.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: This bout is set to take place on Mat B, where Kyrgizstan's Meerim Zhumanazarova just beat Mongolia's Delgermaa Enkhsaikhan 8-3 in the women's 68kg round of 16.

The quarterfinals in women's 68kg start with USA's Amit Elor facing Poland's Wiktoria Choluj first. Nisha's bout with Pak is set to come after this.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Nisha is now set to face North Korea's Sol Gum Pak in her women's 68kg quarterfinals. Pak had pulled off an upset of epic proportions to get here. She is just 18 years old and this is just her second international tournament and somehow, she beat 2021 World Championship gold medallist and 2023 worlds bronze medallist Irina Ringaci in the round of 16.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Lee Zii Jia does it in the end. Quite an extraordinary match from him, he was almost down and out in the first game but he kept his attacking play going and errors started creeping into Lakshya's game. There were a couple of times in the first game itself where Lakshya left a shot that he thought was going long, only for it to be almost half a foot inside the line.

Lakshya thus joins the aforementioned list of great Indian athletes who have finished fourth at an Olympics. He is only 22 though and surely, surely he has at least one Olympic medal in store for him in the future. He is just too good to not have one. Take a bow Lakshya, you have gone to places at these Olympics that no Indian man has reached before this and only Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu have overall among badminton players from the country.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Nisha Dahiya has beaten Ukraine's Tetiana Sova Rizhko 6-4 and will fight in the women's 68kg wrestling quarterfinal.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: The wrestling events start today and first up is Nisha Dahiya, the under-23 World Championships bronze medallist in 2021. She is facing Ukraine's Tetiana Rizhko. Nisha has some strapping on her right elbow and she does well early on, takes a 4-1 lead.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Lee Zii Jia has come into this match and how. The Malysian won the second game 21-16 and now leads 11-6 in the third game interval. Lakshya has a bruising on his right hand that he is trying to deal with as well. This bronze-medal match has become a battle.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Naruka gets four hits to end his day, Chauhan up next and she does the same! China have to get all of their shots here...

Lyu finishes with four more hits. Extraordinary from him, he hasn't missed a single hit throughout this bronze medal match. Jiang comes next, she gets her first two shots and does the same again. That gives China the bronze medal.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Ooo it's come right down to the last series. All four of the shooters not missing a single shot in this series. China have a slender lead of one and Naruka to start.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Three hits out of four for Chauhan once again while Naruka hits all four. Both the Chinese shooters shoot all their targets this time and they edge ahead. Jianlin Lyu has, incredibly, not missed a single shot thus far.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: This time, Naruka gets all his shots right and Chauhan misses one. Similarly, Jiang misses one for China whereas Lyu hits all four. This is so close!

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Once again, Naruka misses a shot and Chauhan gets all four hits. Lyu hits all four but Jian misses three out of four! That brings India back on level terms. 13-13.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: The Chinese have not missed a single shot, with Jiang and Lyu both nailing their four hits each. Maheshwari, who missed just one shot in qualification, also hits the target with her four shots but Naruka misses one. That puts China 8-7 ahead after the first station, or the first round, or the first series.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: All righ, so both male and female athletes fire at clay targets from eight different spots, each known as a ‘station’. For this final, only Station 3, 4, 5 are being used.

The targets or clays fly in from two spots, one on the left and another on the right end of the shooting range. These spots are each called a ‘house’.

The left house is called the ‘high house’ and the clays flying in from it are known as ‘mark’. The house on the right is called ‘low house’ and the clays are called ‘pull’.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Lakshya Sen clinches the first game quite comfortably 21-13. The Indian shuttler completely dominated Lee Zii Jia here who made some big errors early in the game to lose control. Sen wins first game 21-13.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: All right, Maheshwari Chauhan Anant Jeet Singh Naruka for India. Yiting Jiang and Jianlin Lyu for China. The bronze medal match is about to get underway at the Chateauroux.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Lakshya Sen is facing Malaysia Zii Jia Lee in the bronze medal match. PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal are the only Indian badminton players thus far to have won Olympic medals and he could thus be the first man from his country to do so if he wins this match. He has a very good record against Lee. Lakshya has won four out of the five matches these two have played against each other. FOLLOW LIVE HERE.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: Maheshwari Chauhan missed just ONE out of the 75 shots she took this morning. She missed her 21st shot, which means she went on a streak of 20 hits before that and a whopping 54 hits after. Naruka went on a streak of 37 hits and then missed his 38th, 47th and 73rd shots.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: World indoor pole vault champion Molly Caudery was inconsolable after a disastrous performance on Monday saw her fail to qualify for the Olympic final in Paris. The 24-year-old Briton who was tipped for a medal skipped the two opening qualifying rounds at 4.20 metres and 4.40m, instead opting to come in at 4.55m. But Caudery's Olympic dreams were left in ruins as she failed in her three attempts at that height, far from the world-leading 4.92m she vaulted in Toulouse in June.

Caudery crumbled to the track in floods of tears and was consoled by teammate and Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist Holly Bradshaw, who herself had gone out at the 4.40m mark. Caudery was at a loss to explain what had gone following her dramatic exit. "I'm shocked," Caudery told reporters. "So disappointed and I'm so sorry to everyone at home; I didn't have any excuse. Best shape of my life. I love big crowds. I didn't feel overly nervous. I don't have a reason right now for what just happened."

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 10 Live Updates: How about this! India's Maheshwari Chauhan and Anantjeet Singh Naruka are through to the mixed team skeet bronze medal match! They face China at 6.30pm today.

"As an athlete, it is everyone's dream to compete at the Olympics, but only a few earn the opportunity after years of hard work. The margins in the Olympics are so less that there is no difference in preparation between the 1st place and 8th place. While winning medals is important, it is equally important to acknowledge our athletes' efforts for their years of hard work and sacrifice. As a nation, we must celebrate all our Olympians irrespective of the results," he added.
