Young Indian shuttler Lakshya Sen suffered an inexplicable meltdown and missed out on an Olympic medal, going down in three games to Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia in the bronze play-off at the Paris Games here on Monday.

"I had my chances in the second set and could have definitely done better. But credit to him, he played a really good game. 1 think at the moment I'm just not able to think right now," a crestfallen Sen said after the match.
