PARIS :French and Australian officials on Tuesday played down the risk of a COVID cluster at the Paris Olympics after the Australia team was the first to report that one of its athletes, a water polo player, had tested positive and been isolated.
India's ace archer Deepika Kumari is confident of the team's chances in the Paris Olympics. She said clear communication in tough situations will benefit them in the quadrennial event. Indian archers will compete in all five medal events in Paris: men's and women's teams, individual, and mixed categories. The women's team boasts exceptional talent including the 2022 Asian Games bronze medallists Ankita Bhakat and Bhajan Kaur, apart from Deepika. “The strength of any team lies in its communication and combination. It's essential to support each other in various situations. We talk a lot and discuss how to handle different scenarios. Clear communication, especially in tough situations, is a huge strength for us. We are confident about our chances at the Olympics,” Deepika said on JioCinema's 'The Dreamers'.
Andy Murray confirmed on Tuesday that he will retire after the Paris Olympics, closing another chapter in tennis's golden age. The 37-year-old, a two-time Olympic champion, is planning to play in the singles and doubles at his fifth Games. "Arrived in Paris for my last-ever tennis tournament @Olympics," the three-time Grand Slam champion and former world number one posted on social media. "Competing for Great Britain has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I'm extremely proud to get to do it one final time."
Andy Murray has confirmed he will retire after the Olympics, saying Paris 2024 will be his “last ever tennis tournament”.
Former captain and Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey has high hopes from skipper Harmanpreet Singh at the Paris Olympics, saying if the star drag-flicker is on song there is no reason why the country cannot change the colour of the medal at the quadrennial showpiece event. India had defeated Germany to clinch the bronze medal after 41 years at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Expectations are high from the Harmanpreet-led side to better its performance at the Paris Games, starting July 26.
Building trust was a key target area for India's men's hockey coach Craig Fulton when he took over last year and as the team lands in Paris, hoping to better the Olympic bronze achieved in Tokyo, the South African is confident that his efforts will yield the desired results. Since taking over 14 months back, my main focus has been on building trust among the group," Fulton told PTI in an exclusive interview from the Paris Games Village.
Tennis at the Summer Olympics is always one of the most anticipated events, but Paris 2024 might just take the cake. Numerous storylines from the world of tennis are in play, as the iconic Roland Garros welcomes the Olympics. The king of Roland Garros - Rafael Nadal - may be playing competitive tennis for the final time. He will be going for a third individual gold. His age-old rival Novak Djokovic is aiming for the one gold missing from his illustrious cabinet. Olympics 2024 is also certainly Andy Murray's swansong. And between all this, a new demon has taken the world of tennis by storm.
