Olympics 2024: India’s big medal hopefuls in Badminton Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have been put in a favourable group for the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024. The draw for the men’s doubles pair was announced on Monday, July 15, after a delay caused due to including an additional pair for the event.
The World No.3 men’s pair of Satwik and Chirag find themselves in Group C alongside the world number six combination of Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto, world No.31 German pair of Mark Lamsfuss and Marvin Seidel and world No.43 Lucas Corvee and Ronan Labar of France.
The Indian pair was among the four top-seeded pairs for the event. All four top-seeded combinations have been drawn in four separate groups. This will be the second Olympics for the star Indian duo with Tokyo 2021 being their only outing at the Games. The pair won two of the three group games in Tokyo but could not reach the knockout stages of the Games.
