Lakshya Sen thus became the first individual male shuttler from India to reach the semi-finals of an Olympics. The Indian overcame a first game deficit to claim a hard-fought win. <\/p>\n<p>The Indian men\u2019s hockey team defeated Australia 3-2 in a pool stage match of the Paris Olympics. This is the first time that the Indian men\u2019s team has defeated Australia at the Olympics since 1972. In a closely-fought encounter where India had the upper hand in the first half, they scored their first two goals in the first quarter itself and went on to hold a late Aussie charge to win 3-2. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Meanwhile, two-time Paris Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker has qualified for the final of a third event, the 25m pistol. The Indian contingent was looking towards the 22-year-old to do the heavy lifting again after a bittersweet day on Thursday, where India won a bronze in shooting but their medal hopefuls like Satwik-Chirag, Nikhat Zareen, and PV Sindhu exited from the Paris Games. <\/p>\n<p>In archery, Ankita Bhakat and Dhiraj Bommadevara entered the semi-final of the mixed team event after defeating an Indonesian and a Spanish pair but lost their next two matches. First Korea defeated them in the semifinal, and then USA got the better of them in the bronze medal match. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Our senior reporter Mihir Vasavda is in Paris to cover the Olympics.
