Still in the hunt for their fourth medal, India enters the 11th day of the Paris Olympics – ft. Neeraj Chopra

India has sent a fair enough contingent of 129 members to the Paris Olympics, with PV Sindhu and Sarath Kamla being the Indian flag bearers. The most trustworthy name among all is India’s Golden Boy from the Tokyo Olympics—Neeraj Chopra.

India has always been seen to have made their way into the Olympics, with events like badminton, wrestling, and often rifle shooting. The highly anticipated athletes for the Paris Olympics were Nikhat Zareen, Lovlina Borgohain, Manika Batra, PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, the India skeet mixed team, TT player Sarath Kamla, and many wrestlers as well.

India set records in the Paris Olympics.

• Manu Bhaker becomes the first Indian women shooter to win a medal at the Olympics.
  
• Manu Bhaker also becomes the first ever Indian athlete to win two medals in a single Olympics for Independent India. She has won two bronze medals in 10 meter air pistol in both singles and mixed team events.
  
• India won their first medal in a mixed-team shooting event with Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh.
  
• Indian TT stars Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula emerged as the first players from India in the sport to have made it to the Round of 16 (or pre-quarterfinals) in the Olympics.
