🇮🇳 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗮𝗷 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿!

Panwar finished 4th, with a timing of 7:07.11, which confirms his participation in the repechage round tomorrow.

🚣 He covered the first 1000m in 3:31.24 where he was positioned 4th. He will now compete in the repechage round scheduled to take place tomorrow.

It was a decent show for debutant Balraj, as he finished  4th in men's single sculls heat, just about missing on a quarter-final spot. 

Whats interesting to know that, Balraj began rowing only four years ago and he's the only India representing rowing in Paris!

He had narrowly missed out on a bronze medal at the Asian Games and qualified for the Olympics earlier this year when he won bronze at the Asian and Oceanian Rowing Olympic Qualification Regatta in South Korea.

The 25-year-old Armyman is from Kaimla in Haryana’s Karnal district and is coached by Bajrang Lal Thakkar, who had represented India in the same event at the 2008 Olympics.

Hope remains on Repechages now 🤞

Well Played Balraj 👏🏻 all eyes on tomorrow now 👀
