Lakshya Sen came close to making history at the Paris Olympics, but missed out on a bronze medal in men's singles badminton. After losing to Viktor Axelsen in the semi-finals, Sen won the first game against Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia in the bronze medal match but lost the next two.

Despite the setback, the 22-year-old from Almora has an impressive resume, including a 2021 World Championships bronze, 2022 Commonwealth Games gold, and a Thomas Cup victory.
