Sen is starting his campaign unseeded after missing the Canada Open title defense due to a visa issue. At the Paris Olympics, he faces a tough draw in Group L with Indonesian rival Jonatan Christie (WR 3), Kevin Cordon (WR 41), and Julien Carragi (WR 52).
Cordon had finished fourth in the Tokyo Olympics 2020. The 37-year-old is a four time Olympian representing his nation at the 2008, 2012, 2016 and the 2020 Olympic Games.
Anticipating the challenges ahead, Lakshya Sen has been training day and night. "We have focused a lot on overall improving the game and we had a good time for the last 6-7 weeks where I could really work on all the areas of the game," Sen replied to a PTI query during a virtual interaction a few days ago.
