Paris Olympics 2024 Day 12 Highlights: Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu finished fourth in the women's 49kg category. She lifted a total of 199kg (88+111) to finish at the fourth spot, missing on the Olympic medal by only one kg. It was a forgettable day for India at the Games as Vinesh Phogat was disqualified hours ahead of her women's wrestling 50kg final bout and also got stripped of the medal she was assured of as she weighed 100g more than her weight category. In women's 53kg wrestling, Antim Panghal also lost her Round of 16 bout to Turkey's Zeynet Yetgil. On the the other hand, the women's table tennis team exited the draw after losing to Germany 1-3 in the quarterfinals. (India's Day 12 Schedule | Medal Tally)
