Lakshya Sen’s Paris Olympics Injury | Raj Shamani #shorts #sports

In this short clip from Raj Shamani's channel, badminton player Lakshya Sen recounts the painful hand injury he suffered during the Paris Olympics. He explains that the injury first occurred during the first or second round of the tournament when he dived on court, causing a tear in his hand. He managed the wound by taping it and continued to play through the rounds.

The situation worsened significantly during the semifinal match. When Lakshya dived again, the wound completely reopened, forcing him to pause and get it re-taped before continuing. He notes that when blood falls on court, there is an official pause in the match because players could slip on it, explaining why medical staff came out to attend to him.

Despite multiple layers of strapping applied by the medical team, the bleeding simply would not stop. His hand became very bulky with all the bandaging. In a moment of dark humor, Lakshya recalls telling the staff to loosen the bandage, joking that if his arm couldn't move, he wouldn't be able to play at all. Ultimately, he asked them to remove the bandaging despite the ongoing bleeding, and had to continue competing under those difficult conditions.
