Paris Olympics 2024: This time, Paris, the capital of France, has been given the hosting rights of the Olympics, in which after the opening ceremony on 26th July, the events have started from 27th July. Balraj Panwar, the only athlete from India who participated in the rowing event, took 7 minutes 11 seconds to complete the 2000 meters and finished fourth. Now Balraj Panwar will participate in the repechage event.
The repechage round will provide an opportunity to make it to the semi-finals or finals
Balraj Panwar lagged behind Thomas McIntosh, Stefanos Antonaskos and Abdelkhalek Elbana in the rowing event. By being in the top-3, all three players have secured their place directly in the quarterfinals. Balraj may not have been able to make it to the next round, but now he will definitely get a second chance to make it directly to the semifinals or finals by doing better in the repechage event. Balraj Panwar had won the bronze medal in the Asian and Oceania Olympic Qualification Regatta in Korea.
