Aruna Quadri and Olajide Omotayo will begin their quest for medals in the table tennis event of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris on Saturday (today).<\/p>\n

Aruna will be up against Romania\u2019s Eduard Ionescu in a first-round match of the men\u2019s singles event.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old made it to the third round four years ago in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

He reached the quarter-finals of the same event in Rio 2016.<\/p>\n

Omotayo will do battle with Iran\u2019s Noshad Alamiyan in another first-round pairing.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old will be looking to make it beyond the first round this time around after his early ouster in Tokyo 2020.<\/p>\n

He was thrashed in four straight sets, 11-7 11-9 11-6 11-5 by Tiago Apollonia of Portugal.<\/p>\n
