Aditi Ashok will be determined to make up for her near-miss at the Tokyo Games, while Diksha Dagar will look to overcome the trauma of a car accident as the two Indian golfers begin their campaign at the Paris Games on Wednesday. Two-time Olympian Aditi had come agonisingly close to securing a medal before finishing fourth three years ago in Tokyo and will seek redemption this time. Diksha, on the other hand, escaped unhurt after being involved in a car accident that left her mother hospitalised. But the 23-year-old from Jhajjar has shrugged off all problems and is determined for Olympic success.

A quarter of the field, which means 15 out of 60 players, in the women’s Olympic golf competition have played in all three Games since the sport returned to the programme in 2016 and Aditi is one of them.

Her teammate Diksha Dagar, who is making her second Olympic appearance, is one of the 36 players in the field, who have played at least one Olympic Games before this one.

Aditi tees off with Gaby Lopez (Mexico) and Esther Henseleit (Germany) at 9.22 am local time (12.52 pm IST), while Diksha plays with Wei-Ling Hsu (Chinese Taipei) and Emma Spitz (Austria) from 10:55 a.m.

The women’s competition runs from Wednesday to Saturday.

A rookie winner at her home event, the Hero Women’s Indian Open back in 2016, Aditi has now won five times on the Ladies European Tour but is still awaiting her maiden success on the LPGA. She has been on the LPGA since 2017.

Aditi’s big moment came in 2021 when she was within a whisker of an Olympic medal, but finished fourth. Despite missing out on a medal she was appreciated by the entire country including the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Diksha is a rare athlete, who has competed in both the Deaflympics (Olympics for hearing impaired athletes) and the main Olympics. A double medallist in the Deaflympics, Diksha qualified for Tokyo almost at the last minute. This time, her consistent showing in 2023 and 2024 won her a place months ahead.

In Paris, Diksha suffered an unexpected scare when the car she was travelling in with her family, including her father Col Narendar Dagar, who also caddies for her, suffered an accident.

While Diksha and her father were totally unhurt, her brother got some minor injuries. However, Diksha’s mother hurt her back and had to be hospitalised. She is now recovering.

Aditi is coming off a tie for 22nd at the LPGA Tour’s Portland Classic that ended this past Sunday. She played four weeks in row since the Amundi Evian and this is her fifth week on the trot.

Aditi had her father, Ashok, on bag in 2016 and then it was her mother Maheshwari caddying for her in Tokyo. Her father, who has been with her on the LPGA most of the time, will be doing the duty again in Paris.

In Tokyo, Nelly Korda (United States) won the gold, while Mone Inami of Japan beat Lydia Ko (New Zealand) for the silver medal with a two-putt par on the first extra hole. Ko got the bronze and India’s Aditi ended a heart-breaking fourth.

In Rio 2016, Inbee Park (Republic of Korea) won the gold, while Lydia Ko took the silver and Shanshan Feng (China) was the bronze medallist.

So Lydia is the only player to have medalled twice and is looking for a third one and a first gold.

A total of 33 countries are represented in the 60-athlete field. Twelve of the top 15 players are competing this week.

Six players who are or have reached World No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings, Jin Young Ko (Korea), Lydia Ko (New Zealand), Nelly Korda (USA), Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand), Lilia Vu (USA), Ruoning Yin (China) are among the players in the field.

Minjee Lee of Australia will be making her third Olympic appearance following her brother Min Woo’s Olympic debut in the men’s competition last week. The Lees are the only brother-sister combination in the Olympic golf fields.

Celine Boutier is one of two players to represent France in the women’s Olympic golf competition, along with Perrine Delacour. Boutier had the best season of her career in 2023 where she earned four wins, including a major championship, The Amundi Evian Championship, in her home country.

Prior to 2016, women’s golf was contested in the Olympics twice in the early 1900s (1900 and 1904).

It was a highly successful day for India at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Tuesday as Neeraj Chopra qualified for the javelin final while wrestler Vinesh Phogat registered two massive victories to book her semifinal berth. Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Neeraj produced a mammoth throw of 89.34m on his very first attempt in the qualification round to begin his campaign in Paris. On the other hand, Vinesh pulled off a stunning win over Japan’s Yui Susaki who has lost only five bouts in her career since 2010. She continued her momentum in the quarterfinal as she defeated Ukraine’s Oksana Vasylivna Livach.

It has been a tough year for Vinesh who was a leading voice in the protests against former President of Wrestling Federation of India Brij Bhushan Singh. She competed at the 2024 Asian Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and earned a quota place for India.

Vinesh also had a massive setback as she injured the Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on her left knee during a training session that ruled her out of the Asian Games.

Following his qualification for the javelin final, Neeraj had a special message for Vinesh as he acknowledged her massive win against the much-decorated 50kg freestyle wrestler Yui Susaki.

“This is extraordinary. To beat Susaki is unreal. The effort she has put in shows. After what she has been through, I pray for her that she wins a medal. All best to her,” Neeraj said according to RevSportz.

Vinesh, who is participating in her third Olympics, narrowly missed a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics 2016 after suffering an injury. In Tokyo 2020, she lost to Vanesa Kaladzinskaya in the quarterfinals.

Coming to Neeraj, the reigning world champion came up with his all-time second-best throw at a men’s javelin event, with his top throw coming at Stockholm Diamond League 2022 with a distance of 89.94 m. It was also the 26-year-old’s best throw in any qualification round.

Defending champion Neeraj Chopra turned on the style as he stormed into the men’s javelin throw final of the Olympic Games with a season’s best effort of 89.34m in his very first attempt in the qualification round on Tuesday. Much like his performance in the Tokyo Olympics, the 26-year-old crossed the automatic qualifying mark of 84m in his opening throw to occupy the top spot in Group B. The tremendous effort, which is the second best of his career, also set aside concerns surrounding Chopra’s fitness after he revealed that he had been battling an adductor niggle in the build-up to the Games. His personal best continues to be 89.94m achieved back in 2022.

The other Indian in fray, Kishore Jena, bowed out of contention to make the 12-man final on Thursday after managing a poor throw of 80.73m.

Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who is the reigning Commonwealth Games champion, also qualified for the finals with a throw of 86.59m in Group B.

From the same group, Grenada veteran Anderson Peters too made the cut with a throw of 88.63m.

Chopra produced the most eye-catching performance of the day lasting just a few minutes — quite literally a case of ‘he came, he threw and he conquered’.

Earlier in the day, Jena finished ninth in Group A qualification round with an underwhelming throw of 80.73m, which has pushed him out of contention for a slot in the finals.

All those who throw 84m or above, or at least 12 best performers from Group A and B combined will advance to the final to be held on Thursday.

Jena’s opening throw was 80.73m, and he fouled his second attempt before coming up with 80.21m in his last effort.

Julian Weber of Germany topped Group A with a first round throw of 87.76m while former world champion Julius Yego (85.97m) of Kenya and Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Jakub Vadlejch (85.63m) of Czechia were second and third respectively.

Toni Keranen (85.27m) of Finland was the fourth athlete to go past the automatic qualification mark of 84m.

Jena had booked an automatic Olympics berth with his 87.54m throw for a silver medal in the Asian Games in October last year.

After that, he crossed the 80m mark in just one out of six competitions before Tuesday.
