When it comes to how many medals India can win today. The answer to that is none. Nevertheless, as mentioned, two medals could be guaranteed today. Should the positive outcome arrive, they will augment India's medals tally following the conclusion of the respective discipline. 

Lakshya Sen will take on World No.1 Viktor Axelson in the Men's Badminton semi-final. Sen is  7-1 behind in the head-to-head, but this is the Olympics, where players tend to bring their best at the most crucial stage. Thus, the way the Indian has dominated in the competition, his victory over the Danish World No.1 won't be an upset. It will be a cracker of a game and millions watching in India will back their 22-year-old medal hope. Tokyo 2020 Bronze medalist, Lovlina Borgohain is also at a similar juncture as that of Lakshya Sen. She is also a win away from a guaranteed podium finish and standing in front of her is World No.1 Li Qian. Can Lovlina produce her best to enter the elusive list of Indians who have won more than one medal at the Olympics? All to look forward to. 

Indian Hockey Team will take on Great Britain in the quarterfinal. The team would be riding on the momentum they gained after beating Australia in the Pool B game. A victory will take India to the semi-final.

The Indian populace will be closely observing the participation of Lakshya Sen, the Indian hockey team, and Lovlina Borgohain at the Paris Olympics 2024, scheduled for Sunday, August 4.
