The Indian archers took the first and third sets with scores of 37-36 and 38-37, respectively. Meanwhile, the second set was tied at 38-38.

Earlier in the archery men's individual 1/16, the series of upsets in archery for India continued to unfold in the Paris Olympics after young archer Dhiraj Bommadevara suffered a heartbreak. Canada's Eric Peters and Dhiraj played a thrilling draw that kept the fans on the edge of their seats. It was raining 10s from the bows of both archers which led to a highly captivating contest between the two archers. Dhiraj came close but fell too far at the end which sealed his exit from the event. The first set began with a 10 from Dhiraj proving to be the difference between the two archers. Dhiraj took the lead but Peters relying on his accuracy fought back to level the match. The third set began with Peters hitting three 9s while Dhiraj struck two 10s to take away the third set. In the fourth set, both archers struck 10 on each shot to take away a point each. Dhiraj was one step away from sealing his place in the next round but a nine in his final shot allowed Peters to force the game into shoot-off. Both archers struck ten but Peters' arrow was closer to the centre which allowed him to move into the next round and end Dhiraj's run in the singles event.

Nikhat Zareen lost 5:0 against the People's Republic of China's Wu Yu. Wu Yu advanced to the last eight and is one win away from winning an Olympic medal. Wu Yu dominated the first round. However, Zareen bounced back in the second but the Chinese boxer edged the round. Meanwhile, in the third round, Wu Yu won unanimously. Earlier in the previous round, Nikhat Zareen powered her way into the women's 50kg pre-quarterfinals by defeating Germany's Maxi Karina Kloetzer in a hard-fought 32-round bout. The 28-year-old Indian boxer emerged victorious with a 5-0 unanimous decision win on Sunday. Zareen's journey in this Olympic campaign has been nothing short of impressive. The bout was challenging and messy, yet Zareen's experience and tactical prowess saw her through to the next round.

Paris Olympics: Nikhat Zareen bows out after defeat against China's Wu Yu

<keyword id="19968766" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Neeraj-Chopra" source="keywords">Neeraj Chopra</keyword>'s broad shoulders will carry a weight of massive expectations when his fabled consistency is put through trial by fire, while the lesser-known names in India's 29-strong contingent will aim to emulate some of his success when the Olympic Games athletics competition gets underway here on Thursday. A nagging injury forced Chopra to compete in very few events in the build-up to the Games, but the star <keyword id="20765859" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="javelin-thrower" source="keywords">javelin thrower</keyword> is still among the favourites to finish on the podium, and perhaps clinch an unprecedented second successive <keyword id="20342188" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gold-medal" source="keywords">gold medal</keyword>. A top podium finish on August 8 for Chopra will make him only the fifth man in <keyword id="22559483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympics-history" source="keywords">Olympics history</keyword> to defend his title and the first Indian to win two gold medals in an individual event in the multi-sporting spectacle. Eric Lemming (Sweden; 1908 and 1912), Jonni Myyra (Finland; 1920 and 1924), Jan Zelezny (Czech Republic; 1992, 1996 and 2000) and Andreas Thorkildsen (Norway; 2004 and 2008) are the only ones to have defended the <keyword id="22616790" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mens-javelin" source="keywords">men's javelin</keyword> gold medals in the Olympics. He has competed in just three events this year but the 26-year-old world champion is back in full flow in a season where none of his global competitors have done exceptionally well. After finishing second in the Doha Diamond League in May with a throw of 88.36m, which is his season's best, Chopra withdrew from Ostrava Golden Spike on May 28 as a precautionary measure after he felt "something" in his adductor (group of muscles located on inner thighs). Chopra, who has a personal best of 89.94m, made a strong comeback by winning gold at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland on June 18 with a throw of 85.97m. He later opted out of the <keyword id="22097380" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paris-Diamond-League" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Paris Diamond League" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Paris Diamond League">Paris Diamond League</keyword> on July 7, insisting that the event was never a part of his competition calendar this year. His coach later dismissed concerns surrounding Chopra's fitness, telling PTI that his adductor has no issues now and his ward has been in high intensity phase of training. One of the most consistent javelin throwers in recent times, Chopra has sent his spear below 85m mark just twice out of his 15 competitions since winning gold in <keyword id="20262833" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tokyo-Olympics" source="keywords">Tokyo Olympics</keyword>. Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Czech thrower Jakub Vadlejch, who beat Chopra in the Doha Diamond League, Germany's Julian Weber and former world champion Anderson Peters will once again be the Indian superstar's main rivals. The other Indian in fray in men's javelin, Kishore Jena, who booked an automatic berth with his 87.54m throw in the Asian Games last year but has struggled to cross the 80m mark after that. The qualification round of men's javelin throw competition will be held on August 6. Athletics competition will begin with the men's and women's 20km race walk. Akshdeep Singh, Vikash Singh and Paramjeet Singh Bisht will compete in the men's event while Priyanka Goswami will feature in the women's event. Among others in the contingent, men's 3000m steeplechaser Avinash Sable and the men's 4x400m relay team have the potential to push for a place in the top five. Sable recently broke his own 3000m steeplechase national record at the Paris Diamond League, clocking 8 minutes and 9.91 seconds, bettering his earlier mark by one and a half seconds. But he still finished sixth at the prestigious meet, a fair indicator of how difficult it will be for the Indian to win a medal in the Olympics. Two of the best runners in the event, world record (7:52.11) holder Lamecha Girma of Ethiopia and reigning Olympic and world champion Soufiane El Bakkali of Morocco were not there in the Paris Diamond League. The same is true for the men's 4x400m relay team, though the return of key member Rajesh Ramesh from an injury lay-off is good news. The likes of Jyothi Yarrajji (women's 100m hurdles), Parul Chaudhary (women's 3000m steeplechase), Annu Rani (women's javelin throw), the women's 4x400m relay team, Tajinderpal Singh Toor (shot put), triple jumpers Praveen Chithravel and Abulla Aboobacker can aim for at least final round qualifications. National record holder shot putter Abha Khatua was mysteriously dropped from the original athletics team of 30. There was no explanation from any Indian official whether her name has been dropped owing to injury, a doping violation or any other technical issue. Meanwhile, a repechage round will be introduced to all individual track events from 200m to 1500m, including the hurdles events. The new format will replace the earlier one, where some athletes advanced to the semifinals through fastest times in addition to the top placings in the first round heats. Instead, only the athletes in the top placings will get automatic qualification and all the remaining will get a second chance to qualify for the semi-finals by participating in repechage heats.

Despite his commendable effort, Vikash, the fastest among the three <keyword id="20430758" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-athletes" source="keywords">Indian athletes</keyword> in the event, could not secure a medal. The 28-year-old had previously shown promise, finishing fifth in the same event at the Asian Games last year. Joining Vikash in the race was <keyword id="22595125" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paramjeet-Singh-Bisht" source="keywords">Paramjeet Singh Bisht</keyword>, who made his Olympic debut. Paramjeet completed the race in 1:23:48, ranking 37th. He marked a significant milestone in his athletic career. Unfortunately, national record holder Akshdeep Singh faced a setback as he bowed out of the race after completing only 6 kilometres, unable to finish the event. The race, held at the picturesque Trocadero, saw Ecuadorian athlete Brian Daniel Pintado clinch the gold medal with an impressive time of 1:18:55. Brazil's Caio Bonfim followed closely, securing the silver medal with a time of 1:19:09. Spaniard Alvaro Martin completed the podium, taking the bronze with a time of 1:19:11. India's quest for an <keyword id="20633205" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympic-medal" source="keywords">Olympic medal</keyword> in the 20km race walk continues, with this event once again highlighting the challenging nature of the competition. Despite the setback, the performance of Vikash Singh and Paramjeet Singh Bisht showcases the potential of Indian athletes in international athletics. Their participation and effort serve as a stepping stone for future success in the sport.

"Hard work, grit, passion have truly paid off": Abhinav Bindra after Swapnil Kusale wins bronze at Paris Olympics

The votes are in, the election commission is armed, and tallies are finally being made. As lakhs of viewers tune into their news to update themselves, many are coming away shocked at the current standings. Despite confident promises of capturing 400 of the 543 Indian seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (<keyword id="19894848" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BJP" source="keywords">BJP</keyword>) has barely won a dozen or two seats more than the halfway mark of 272, as per the initial few rounds of counting. This is still an impressive position to be in, and certainly enough to help the BJP-led <keyword id="105903" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="national-democratic-alliance" source="Orion">National Democratic Alliance</keyword> (<keyword id="19938590" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NDA" source="keywords">NDA</keyword>) make another term. However, the overwhelming, yet lukewarm, support has inadvertently deflated the ‘Abki baar 400 paar’ chant echoed by the party throughout its campaigning. Further, this comes mere days after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called the slogan the ‘common man’s mantra’. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Exit polls gone wrong" comment="subhead" text="Exit polls gone wrong"><keyword id="21129157" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="exit-polls" source="keywords">Exit polls</keyword> gone wrong</cmsannotation> Party conjecture aside, most exit polls had also predicted a landslide victory for the NDA, with some even predicting the party crossing the 400 marks, helping the alliance comfortably bring in a third term for current Prime Minister <keyword id="19895781" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="keywords">Narendra Modi</keyword>. However, Congress leaders staunchly dismissed these findings, asserting that the <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">INDIA</keyword> alliance will achieve at least over 250 seats this election. While exit polls have exercised a notoriously patchy reputation for delivering inaccurate findings in the past, the surveys might have gotten it wrong far more than usual this time around. For instance, the BJP has been predicted to win 400 seats by News 24-Today’s Chanakya poll, 358 as per Times Now-ETG, 392 per India V-CNX. <table class="redcator-table-advance" style="border-width: initial;

If this trend holds, a majority government will form with BJP-led NDA acquiring slightly below 300 seats, almost mirroring exact forecasts by on-ground reporters and some political experts. However, this is quite in contrast with almost all exit polls this election season. If the scorecard settles at the current mark, this will end up becoming the poorest performance for NDA since their historic win in 2014. The alliance came to power after winning an overwhelming 336 seats in 2014, and 353 seats in 2019. However, the main point of shock has come from the performance of Congress and the INDIA bloc, who have maintained a steadfast 200+ seats since the initial polling rounds. Out of the nine odd exit polls that came out with results recently, none had predicted the INDIA bloc to win over 150-170 seats. As the tallying moves into its final phases, let’s look at how exit polls performed in the previous election cycles. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="2014 elections" comment="subhead" text="2014 elections">2014 elections</cmsannotation> In 2014, 834 million voters participated in the largest-ever elections worldwide — only to be surpassed by the 2019 <keyword id="19895394" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="lok-sabha" source="keywords">Lok Sabha</keyword> elections. An average of eight exit polls had indicated that the BJP would see a 283-seat victory, while the opposition would have had to settle for 105 seats. Just as predicted, the BJP saw a landslide victory and swooped in 282 of the 543 seats, with a vote percentage of 31.3%. This win was a huge blow to the INC, which only won 44 seats compared to the 206 in 2009. Since a party must win at least 55 seats to become an official opposition party in India, the Congress’s defeat meant that there was no official opposition party for India. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="2019 elections" comment="subhead" text="2019 elections">2019 elections</cmsannotation> The previous Lok Sabha elections turned out to be an even bigger win for the BJP! In 2019, exit polls had predicted that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance would peak at 306 and that the INC-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) would win just 120. However, the post-poll statistics turned out to be underwhelming. The BJP won a whopping 37.36% of the vote — the highest by a political party since the 1989 general elections. It won 303 seats, while the NDA collectively won 352 seats. It was another crushing defeat for the Congress, which won just 52 seats, failing to claim the post of Leader of the Opposition once again.

Trends indicate INDIA maintaining 200+ seats, defying all exit poll predictions; how accurate have these surveys been since 2014?

January 26, 2023 marks the 74th anniversary of India adopting the status of a sovereign, democratic and republican state. So, it is only fitting we look back on stories of people who helped the country gain freedom. Enter Barefoot Boys, a podcast hosted by <keyword id="6413189" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="konkona-sen-sharma" source="Orion">Konkona Sen Sharma</keyword> on <a href="https://spiral5-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2NogNr3rB9wIIQyDF9cpiFhdw157mWNZcyPX6Bk_fNT1gxX1ohAF7XIYXpq1xZ7n02u9UGjdFtCdenB1dKN5p0yNqFk4W67HdDzePpi1tpsOqiXhFgF10FtVWtpbq0QpltljfMxR4UdIyBsrK8Vo3-Lby-nBwyLTN7rXA55xVO0Iy0xbO">Luminary</a>, a subscription podcast network with an award-winning lineup of original shows. Luminary’s Barefoot Boys is an attempt to bring out stories from India, and this story, in particular, deserves to be lauded. An unconventional battlefield Barefoot Boys is a lesser-known story from the early 1900s when the love for football was brewing in British Calcutta. It is the story of eleven boys from Bengal who joined the Indian independence movement by fighting their enemy on the most unconventional battlefield—the football ground. In this podcast series, Konkana Sen Sharma, the celebrated Indian actress, writer, and director with a wide repertoire of Hindi and Bengali films, traces the journey of how these boys pulled-off this unimaginable feat. Defeating the Coloniser India, then still under British rule, was far from receiving independence. Plus, football was a new sport for Indians. In contrast, the British team was well funded, better trained, experienced and significantly, had football shoes. But this didn’t deter the eleven boys from playing against their colonisers, and displaying a level of courage and spirit a few could. While Calcutta was reeling under the news that their ‘capital’ status would be lost to Delhi in 1911, there was news that made waves, locally in Calcutta, across the subcontinent, and reaching the farthest reaches of the Empire: The Barefoot Boys from Calcutta, had defeated the British team in soccer. Brazil of the East Soon, the country earned the moniker ‘Brazil of the East’. Indian football had started to come of age. Beating the British at their own game, the eleven barefoot boys came to be fondly known as Amor Ekadosh, or “Immortal Eleven” for having made their country win at one of the oldest football tournaments in the world, all without boots on their feet! However, football was not considered an Indian sport; with most Indians having grown up playing Gulli-danda and other regional games. How, then, did Indians who had learnt to play football only thirty years before, go on to defeat the very country which was ruling over them? A Luminary Original To commemorate the 74th Republic Day and shed light on this lesser known chapter from India's freedom struggle, Luminary will be opening up the podcast for free streaming through the Republic Day weekend (26th January, 2023 - 29th January, 2023). Listeners who want to live the tale through Konkana’s beautiful storytelling will get access to all the ten episodes released until that week. Konkana, who has received two National Film Awards and four Filmfare Awards, and has built a unique brand for herself, does a stellar job bringing forth this exceptional story. Listen to Sen talk about the majestic Amor Ekadosh, India’s fight for independence, and the interplay of politics and sport, only on Luminary.
