The match for the bronze medal lasted 71 minutes

It is known that India’s young badminton star Lakshya Sen’s dream of winning a bronze medal in the Paris Olympics was shattered. Lakshya had to face defeat against world number 7 Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia. In this tough match that lasted 71 minutes, Lakshya lost 21-13, 16-21, 11-21. However, Lakshya had performed brilliantly in the Olympics. He had also won the first game in the semi-finals and bronze medal match. In the bronze medal match, he maintained the lead in the second game as well but slowly lost his rhythm.
