<p>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. <br> <br>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. </p>

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

<p>India has sent a fair enough contingent to the Olympics this time around, with as many players and athletes as 129 members led by Neeraj Chopra, India's Tokyo Olympics Gold medalist. India expected to increase their medal tally to double digits; however, now it seems they cannot even keep up their medal tally of 7 from the last Olympics in Tokyo. <br> <br>After Manu Bhaker?s initial success with 2 bronze medals alongside Sarbajot Singh and Swapnil Kusale, also emerging medal holders, India missed on near medals in the following days. From previous Olympic champions <strong>PV Sindhu to Mirabai Chanu</strong>, who missed on medals, to 5 near-bronze medals that the team India missed on, including that of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshya_Sen">Lakshya Sen</a>. </p>

<p><br>Lastly, India faced one of the most disappointing losses in a definite Olympic encounter that could have assured them a medal, that of Vinesh Phogat, who created history by going into the first-ever Olympic final. A controversial disqualification ruled Phogat out of the 50 kg women?s freestyle finals as her weight was measured to be <strong>50.1 kg</strong>, and with an additional 100 grams, she was ruled out of contention. </p>

Some bunch of injuries caused trouble in her Olympic dream, as she missed the bronze by just a single point, scoring 199, a point less than Thailand?s S. Khambao?s 200 points for the Olympic bronze. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just before Day 13, let's take a look at India?s historic day at the Olympics</h2>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>One of the first major contributors to rise for medal contention will be India?s Tokyo Olympics pride, Neeraj Chopra. He entered the finals and will compete for gold; however, any medal will see him as India?s best-ever athlete with the best record in any individual event. </li>



<li>Another significant medal match would be the Indian hockey team, who fought hard in the semis against Germany only to lose 3-2; however, now they will have a face-off against Spain for the bronze medal match. </li>

Paris Olympics: After Vinesh?s upset and Mirabai Chanu?s other close miss, all eyes are on India?s golden boy, Neeraj Chopra, as India enters Day 13

<p>The Indian Men?s Hockey team scripted history, as they won the Olympic bronze medal for the second consecutive time in the Olympics. The Indian hockey team has been one of the finest teams in the world of international hockey, as they defended their medal tally from the Tokyo summer Olympics held four years back in 2020. </p>

</figure>



<p><br>India was led by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmanpreet_Singh">Harmanpreet Singh</a> in the Paris Olympics Field Hockey event, as they first defeated the mighty Aussies in a group stage match, ending a long one-sided rivalry of over 52 years. <br> <br>India emerged as one of the most legendary teams in the history of the Olympics, as they next defeated Great Britain in the quarterfinals to enter the semis. This effort was largely praised by many legends and even countrymen as they entered the competition for a medal. </p>

<p><br>Men?s hockey is the most successful event that has been the best for the Olympic medal race, as the Indian men?s hockey team since the start of the Olympic games has won 8 gold medals last year, a silver, as well as 3 bronze medals, with the last two in the previous two editions of the Olympic games in 2020 and 2024. </p>

<p><br>However, in the semi-final, India faced Germany, the team they had defeated in the bronze medal match back in Tokyo four years ago. They ended the scoreline 5-4 against the Germans in a fearsome game last time; however, the Germans had their revenge as they secured a victory against India 3-2 in the semis of Olympic 2024. </p>

First lacking behind in the scoreline, the Indian skipper pulled back the game, as Harmanpreet scored twice, first in the ending minutes of the second half. <br> </p>

<p><br>While he extended the lead with his opening-minute goal in the third half, the Indian defence and later a 10-man India side and the stunning legend PR Sreejesh held their nerves to take India to a nail-biting Olympic bronze medal. The legend, the man the myth, Sreejesh, retires from the game after a splendid career that is now adorned by two Olympic medals as well. Though his retirement still remains under the radar.<br></p>

<p>India, one of the world?s most promising sides, has always been criticised for their low medal tally in the Olympic games, and the Paris Olympics campaign has also ended with just six medals with no gold this time. India won their only two Olympic golds in individual sports, with Abhinav Bindra and Neeraj Chopra winning one each in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overview of the Paris Olympics</h2>



<p>This time around in Paris, Indian shooters started well, as India?s women's shooter, who was making a debut in the Olympics, went on to participate in three events, of which she bagged bronze medals both in 10 meter air pistol singles and also mixed alongside Sarabjot Singh. In the third event later, she missed the bronze by a whisker in the 25m Air Pistol Singles, where she ended fourth. <br> <br>India?s Rio and Tokyo Olympics fame, PV Sindhu, faced an early exit, which was a major upset for India, while also the likes of Mirabai Chanu and India?s women's hockey, all of whom were medalists in Tokyo, faced defeats. <br> <br>However, every game has a new rising star for the country, as Lakshya Sen was India?s best performer in badminton, though he missed a near medal in the bronze medal match. India, in many instances, had such close misses this time, and if fortune had favored them, then India?s medal tally would have surely been in double digits this time around. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A major highlight: IOA sparks confusion over Vinesh Phogat?s verdict date</h2>



<p>Indian star wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who was a participant in the Women?s 50kg Freestyle wrestling event, went on to have a dream run in the Olympics this time around, as she was on her way into the finals and defeated world no. 1 and Japan?s Olympic gold medalist, Susaki, in the Round of 16. She was unstoppable in her bouts that led them to the finals before facing a disheartening disqualification.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



<p><br>When Phogat weighed 100 grams overweight on the morning of the finals of the women?s Olympic games, she was disqualified, and hence the Cuban wrestler Yusneylis Lopez, who earlier lost to Vinesh, was promoted to the finals. <br> <br>The Indian wrestler who announced her retirement after the disqualification has appealed for a joint silver medal alongside the Cuban wrestler; this appeal was considered by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Arbitration_for_Sport">Court of Arbitration for Sports</a> (CAS); however, later they also asked for an extension of dates for the verdict.<br> <br>Though it was believed by both the United World Wrestling and the International Olympic Committee, as they converged on a likely view that Phogat could not be an exception to the rules, this can be considered a change in rule for future reference. </p>
