Paris Olympics 2024 Sailing: Nethra Kumanan comes 21st in women’s Dinghy qualifications; fails to qualify for medal race
Indian sailor Nethra Kumanan failed to qualify for the medal race in the women’s dinghy event at the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024 after she came in 21st position after the ninth qualification race on Monday, August 5.
26-year-old Nethra Kumanan, who became the first Indian female sailor to take part in an Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020, will be disappointed by her performance in Paris as she failed to secure a finals berth in the women’s dinghy event.
Nethra Kumanan started the ninth race in a murky position, as she was 24th in the overall results after race eight. However, despite coming in the 10th position in race 9, Chennai-born Nethra Kumanan failed to crack the top 10 in the overall results. The main reason for her disappointing finish was her poor performances in races three, four, and five, where she finished 27th, 28th, and 28th respectively.
Meanwhile, Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands, Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark, and Line Flem Hoest of Norway were the top three in the final overall results in the qualification round.
