Nepali badminton star Prince Dahal is set to conclude his Olympic campaign today with his final group-stage match against Israel’s Misha Zilberman. The match holds significant importance for Prince, who has suffered two consecutive defeats in his debut Olympic appearance.
Ranked 172nd in the world, Prince faces an uphill battle against the 58th-ranked Zilberman. Despite the challenging odds, he is determined to finish his Olympic journey on a high note.
Nepal’s participation in badminton at the Olympics is a historic moment. While five of the seven Nepali athletes have already been eliminated, swimmer Alexander Shah managed to break a national record. Santoshi Shrestha, Nepal’s representative in athletics, will compete in the marathon on August 11.
