India's Olympics Medals

India's performance this time around is even better than the country's tally of six medals at the London Games in 2012.

In Tokyo, Mirabai Chanu opened India's account by winning silver in the women's 49kg weightlifting category. Her medal came on Day 1 of the Tokyo Olympics.

Star shuttler PV Sindhu created history by winning the bronze medal against China's He Bing Jiao. With the spectacular performance, she became the only Indian woman to win two individual Olympic medals. In the 2016 Rio Games, she had lost in the finals to settle for a silver medal.

Boxer Lovlina Borgohain finished her 2020 Olympics campaign with a bronze medal, bringing India's medal tally to three. She became the third Indian boxer to win an Olympic medal, after MC Mary Kom and Vijender Singh.

The Indian Men's Hockey team was the next to add a medal in India's favour after they defeated Germany 5-4 in a sensational bronze medal match. With the win, they ended Indian hockey's 41-year medal drought.

On Thursday, wrestler Ravi Dahiya won India's second silver medal. He confirmed his finals berth after defeating Kazakhstan's Nurislam Sanayev in the men's freestyle 57kg. However, he faced defeat in the final match against Russia's Zavur Uguev.

On Saturday, August 7, India added two medals, bronze and gold. Wrestler Bajrang Punia defeated Kazakhstan's Daulet Niyazbekov in the men's freestyle 65kg category to clinch the bronze medal with a clear 8-0 victory.

Because of Neeraj Chopra's historic win, the Indian National Anthem was played at the medal ceremony for the first time since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He scripted history by winning a gold medal, only the second Individual gold for India in the Olympics after Abhinav Bindra. Neeraj Chopra also became the first Indian athlete to win a medal in the track and field disciplines since India's independence.
