Lakshya Sen's historic Olympic campaign ends with defeat to Lee Zii Jia in bronze-medal match

Hindustan Times  

It just wasn't to be for Lakshya Sen. After an inspiring performance against Viktor Axelsen that ended in a defeat, Lakshya did put out a strong fight but couldn't capitalise on the early lead, and an injury during the second game further hampered his gameplay as he faced a 21-13, 16-21, 11-21 loss to Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia. India's Lakshya Sen in action during the Paris Olympics Lakshya did make solid start to the first game – something which has been a continuity in his matches throughout the Olympics – surging to an 11-5 lead at the first game break. Unlike his previous match against Axelsen, where he initially adopted an aggressive approach, Lakshya demonstrated his adaptability by engaging in long rallies against Lee Zii Jia. Drawing on his learnings from the semi-final defeat, the Indian shuttler executed his game plan flawlessly, capitalizing on Lee's multiple fouls and unforced errors.
