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
