So Close, But So Far Away: Chances Lost
Despite these wins, India had setbacks in a number of areas. Some big names, like PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen, didn’t make it past the semifinals. In weightlifting, Mirabai Chanu almost won a medal but came in fourth. In shooting, Maheshwari Chauhan and Anand Jeet Singh Naruka’s skeet mixed team came in fourth, just missing the podium. These close calls show how tough the fight is at the Olympics, and how little separates winners and losers.
