At the Paris Olympics 2024, India's campaign ended with a medal tally of six which includes one silver medal and five bronze medals

Indian superstar Neeraj Chopra earned India its first silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. The ace javelin throw athlete made an effort of 89.45m in his second throw. The rest five attempts were declared foul

Manu Bhaker claimed a bronze medal for India in the women's individual 10m air pistol event. She made an effort with 22 shots, accumulating a score of 221.7

Later, Manu Bhaker alongside Sarabjot Singh scripted history by winning another bronze medal for India in the 10m air pistol mixed team. They handed over a 16-10 defeat to Korea at the Paris Olympics 2024. With 20 perfect shots, they claimed 580 points which helped them secure third place in the competition

In the 50m rifle 3 positions event at the Paris Olympics 2024, Swapnil Kusale helped India win its first-ever Olympic medal in the event. In the finals which comprised eight shooters, he shot 451.4

In the hockey event at the Summer Games 2024, the Indian side defeated Spain by 2-1 to win another bronze medal. Even in the Tokyo Olympics, the "Men in Blue" won a bronze medal. The last time, when Team India won back-to-back Olympic medals was in the 1968 and 1972 editions

India's tally went up to five bronze medals when wrestler Aman Sehrawat defeated Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz in the men's 57kg freestyle category. The 21-year-old wrestler won the match by 13-5 against Cruz

Ace Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat after sealing the final berth in the women's 50kg category was disqualified from the event due to being overweight. However, she has made an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to award her a joint silver medal. If the decision ends in Phogat's favour, India will earn its second medal at the Paris Olympics 2024
