Lakshya Sen loses to Lee Zii Jia in bronze medal match in Paris 2024 Olympics

Malaysia’s Lee overcame a slow start to win the match 13-21, 21-16, 21-11 and secure his first Olympic medal. Lakshya, who is the first Indian man to make it to an Olympic badminton semifinal, secured the opening game rapidly as Lee took his time to get his feet in. But from the second game, Lee upped the ante. A visibly tired Lakshya, who was also held back by an arm wound, began to bleed unforced errors to lose the initiative.
