Neeraj Chopra couldn’t recreate his gold-medal-winning feat of Tokyo in Paris but the silver turned out to be his season-best hurl. Silver might not glow as brightly as gold, but by bagging medals in successive Olympics, Neeraj showed why he can lay claim to being arguably the greatest track and field athlete the country has produced. Only two others, among a billion people, could manage medals in consecutive Games — wrestler Sushil Kumar and PV Sindhu.

The Indian men’s hockey team won back-to-back medals in the Olympic games for the first time since 1972. The previous instance of the men’s team winning medals in consecutive Olympic games was at Mexico City in 1968 and Munich in 1972 where it won bronze on both occasions.
India had won the bronze medal at Tokyo 2020 after a 5-4 win over Germany after losing the semifinal encounter against Belgium. In the 2024 Olympics, India stumbled 2-3 against Germany in the semifinal on August 6, ending its pursuit for the first hockey gold medal since 1980.
KD Jadhav: The first individual Olympic medalist
KD Jadhav (Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav) was the first individual athlete from independent India to join the list of Olympic medalists, winning a bronze medal in wrestling at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952. Overall, India has won 36 medals in the Olympics so far. Norman Pritchard's double silver medal in Paris 1900 opened India's account in the Olympics.
