Indian shuttler Lakshya Sen is eyeing a historic medal at the Paris Olympics as he faces Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia in the bronze medal match on Monday, August 5. Lakshya's unbeaten run in the Olympics came to a halt when he suffered a loss to the reigning champion Viktor Axelsen in the semifinals.
The Indian shuttler went down to the World No.2 Axelsen in straight games 22-20, 21-14 despite putting in a valiant effort. Lakshya had three game points in the first game but could not convert on any of those. He then had a 7-0 lead in the second game before squandering it and went on to lose the game and the match.
But Lakshya is still in the hunt for a medal as he will feature in the bronze medal match against Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia. The Indian enjoys a 4-1 head-to-head lead over the Malaysian.
Lakshya has defeated Lee in big matches and the bronze medal match is possibly the biggest one. The Indian outclassed Lee at the 2022 All England Championships where the Malaysian was the defending champion. He also beat him at the 2023 Indonesia Open Super 1000.
