Paris Olympics: ‘Disappointed’ Prakash Padukone Believes It Is ‘high Time’ Badminton Contingent Pulls Up
Lee Zii Jia: Lakshya Sen’s heartbreaking loss to Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia in the bronze medal match in the 2024 Paris Olympics has confirmed the Indian badminton contingent’s failure to win a medal at the Games. Following the loss, India's badminton legend Prakash Padukone, the coach and mentor of the team, stated that it was ‘high time the players step up and win.’
“All the support and finances needed to perform at the top level were given to the Indian players. It’s not like earlier times when our players lacked facilities and funds. So, it’s high time our players step up and win as expected,” Padukone told reporters after Lakshya Sen's match.
Besides Sen’s impressive performance, which saw him become the first Indian shuttler to reach the semifinals of the men’s singles event, the rest exited the tournament in an underwhelming fashion.
