Thrilling Paris Olympics 2024 Day 15 Live Updates: Reetika Hooda Storms into 76kg Wrestling Quarterfinals; Aditi & Diksha Light Up Golf! | Must-See Sport News

Paris Olympics 2024: Day 15 Highlights and Key Updates

On the 15th day of the Paris Olympics 2024, all eyes are on Reetika Hooda who kicks off her campaign in the women’s freestyle 76kg wrestling category. With the hopes of securing India’s seventh medal, following a disappointing performance by Indian golfers on Friday, Reetika stands as a pivotal figure for the nation. India already bagged a wrestling medal thanks to Aman, extending the streak that began in Beijing 2008. Reetika’s first match is against Hungary’s 8th seed Bernadett Nagy, and a win here could set her up for a second-round face-off against the top seed.

In golf, Aditi Ashok ended Round 2 with a 1-under-par, reversing a poor start through a series of impressive birdies. Diksha Dagar also mirrored this performance, finishing 1-under-par. However, the top three have started to pull away, requiring both Indian golfers to deliver exceptional performances to remain in contention.

Additionally, a significant decision is expected today on Vinesh Phogat’s appeal. Vinesh, who was disqualified from the 50kg gold medal bout, has sought a shared silver medal alongside Yusneylis Guzman Lopez from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
