PM Modi met and felicitated India's Paris Olympics athletes on Independence Day at his residence, where Lakshay reflected on his experience at the Paris Olympics and shared insights into the challenges and cherisable moments he encountered during his debut at the Games.

He revealed that he had long matches right from the start, which required intense focus. Despite the demands of the competition, athletes made time to socialise, often having dinner and meeting other international athletes.
