Olympics 2024 Highlights | Saint Lucia's Alfred wins 100 metres gold; LaFond's triple jump gold brings Dominica first ever medal

Day 8 of the Paris Games brought with it a chance for India to shine, but disappointment prevailed. Indian shooter Manu Bhaker suffered a heartbreak, as did all of India after the shooter bowed out of the 25m pistol women's final, shattering her dreams for a hat-trick. Deepika Kumari, however, kept India's hopes up and qualified for the archery QFs, only to be knocked out by South Korean Nam Su-hyeon. Nishant Dev's maiden Olympic campaign ended in heartbreak too after a devastating split verdict defeat to Mexico's Marco Verde Alvarez in the men's 71kg quarterfinal. Saint Lucian sprinter, Julien Alfred, delivered a brilliant performance to win the 100 metres final in a national record 10.72 seconds, beating world champion Richardson into silver and breaking Jamaica's recent stranglehold over the event. China, meanwhile, continued to rack up medals, as did US gymnast Simone Biles, who continued her winning streak. Under-fire boxer Imane Khelif also won her quarter-final clash, assuring Algeria of its first Olympic boxing medal since 2000. Thank you for tracking all the latest updates from the 2024 Olympics of Day 8 with DH!
