On Monday, August 5, the 22-year-old shuttler Lakshya Sen lost the bronze medal match in men’s singles to Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia in three gruelling games: 21-13, 16-21, 11-21, over 71 minutes. This heartbreaking fourth-place finish marked the first time since 2008 that India failed to win a badminton medal at the Olympics.
