Achantha Sharath Kamal: The Melbourne Commonwealth Games' gold medallist beat his club partner Alfredo Carneros of Spain 4-2 in the first round.

However, his challenge ended in the second after he surrendered 1-4 to Austria's Chen Weixing. The Chennai paddler struggled to find his rhythm and was outplayed 5-11, 12-14, 2-11, 11-8, 10-12 by his Austrian opponent.

Neha Aggarwal: Neha's tryst with the Olympics lasted precisely 34 minutes.

India's lone woman paddler in Beijing began with a bang but ran out of steam and crashed in the first round of the women’s singles, losing 12-10, 8-11, 11-13, 8-11 and 4-11 to 35-year-old Chinese-born Australian Jian Fang Lay.
