Paris, July 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) India's sole rower Balraj Panwar advanced to the repechages after finishing fourth in heat 1 of the men's singles scull competition in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
The 25-year-old missed out on the direct qualification for the quarterfinals after coming behind New Zealand's Thomas Mackintosh (6:55.92), Stefanos Ntouskos (7:01.79) and Abdelkhalek Elbanna (7:05.06), respectively. Panwar finished fourth with the timing of 7:07.11.
