Paris: Indian rower Balraj Panwar progressed to the quarterfinals of the men's single sculls after finishing second in the repechage round at the Paris Olympics on Sunday.
He finished with a timing of 7:12.41s in repechage 2 to get a spot in the quarterfinals. Monaco's Quentin Antognelli finished first, clocking 7:10.00s.
