Manu Bhaker's Historic Feats

Manu Bhaker etched her name in history by winning India’s first medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, securing a bronze in the women’s 10m air pistol event. She went on to create another milestone, becoming the first Indian to win two medals at a single edition of the Olympics by clinching a mixed team 10m air pistol bronze with Sarabjot Singh. This achievement also marked her as the first Indian woman to win an Olympic shooting medal.

Shooting Shines for India

Adding to the medal tally, Swapnil Kusale secured a bronze in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions event, making shooting India’s most successful sport at Paris 2024. The three medals in shooting represented the country's largest haul in a single sport at the Olympics.

Hockey and Javelin: Consistency and New Heights

The Indian men’s hockey team matched their success from Tokyo 2020 by winning another bronze, solidifying their legacy as a dominant force in the sport. Meanwhile, Neeraj Chopra continued to shine, winning a silver in the javelin throw. This made him India’s most successful individual Olympian, adding to his gold from Tokyo 2020.

Youngest Olympic Medallist and Near Misses

Aman Sehrawat became India’s youngest Olympic medallist, earning a bronze in wrestling. However, the campaign was not without its heartbreaks. India narrowly missed out on six potential medals, with athletes finishing fourth in their respective events, including Lakshya Sen, Mirabai Chanu, and Manu Bhaker, who was close to securing a third medal. Additionally, Vinesh Phogat's disqualification ahead of a historic final added to the nation's woes.

Broader Indian Participation

Indian athletes competed in 69 medal events across 16 sports, including archery, athletics, badminton, boxing, equestrian, golf, hockey, judo, rowing, sailing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, and tennis. The contingent included returning Olympic medallists like Neeraj Chopra, PV Sindhu, Mirabai Chanu, Lovlina Borgohain, and key members of the Harmanpreet Singh-led hockey team.
