<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 not had as successful a campaign at the Paris Olympics as it had four years back in Tokyo with Neeraj Chopra winning a gold as well. India secured 7 medals in the games, which is the nation's most successful campaign, with 2 silvers and 4 bronze medals and an Olympic gold medal from the unstoppable Neeraj Chopra. <br> <br>Neeraj Chopra has been in the buzz since 2016 when he won the junior division world championship; following him came several opportunities, fame, and also immense media attention. However, all went cold after a few days, though Neeraj did not seem the athlete who could give up his passion for the game only for offered government jobs. <br> <br>After that, he struggled but remained determined, and his efforts paid out loud. Let?s take a look at all the medals won by Neeraj Chopra aside from his triumph in the Tokyo Olympics with a gold. </p>

<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>2016: He first won the World Junior Championships at age 18 and followed that with his South Asian Games glory at Shillong and Guwahati. </li>



<li>2017: Neeraj earned his first gold at the Asian Championships at Bhubaneshwar. </li>



<li>2018: Next in line were the Commonwealth Games, and the Indian javelin athlete also secured a gold in the competition, while he earned his first Asian Games medal at Jakarta that year. </li>



<li>2020: After a period of injuries, he trained rigorously for the Tokyo Olympics and went on to secure India?s first-ever gold in field athletics. </li>



<li>2022: A silver at the World Championships in Eugene, a second Asian Games gold, and a Diamond League gold medal added only greatness to Neeraj?s career. </li>



<li>2023: After a 2023 Diamond League silver, Neeraj once again bounced back to secure his first-ever gold at the World Championships. </li>



<li>2024: Neeraj will lead India?s 29-member athletics team and will defend his gold from Tokyo. Neeraj, who contested from Group B after India?s Kishore Jena faced a crushing defeat from Group A, made his first throw of 89.34, a monstrous throw that itself earned him a straight entry into the finals to defend his gold medal. </li>
</ol>



<p><br>He left behind A. Peters from Granada and was the second-best thrower with 88.63. Neeraj will now contest for his gold medal spot in the final event on the 8th of August.<br></p>

<p> <br>India?s other big update is in 50kg women?s freestyle wrestling, as India?s Vinesh Phogat defeated Tokyo Olympics gold medalist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yui_Susaki">Yui Susaki</a> of Japan to enter the quarterfinals. This is itself something great that has been acquired by the Indian wrestler while she will be back in action for the semifinal round after she secured a win against Ukrainian wrestler Oksana Livach in the Quarter-final.  </p>

<p>India has not had the most successful Olympics in Paris this summer; however, the 11th day has been one of India?s best days in the events with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinesh_Phogat">Vinesh Phogat</a> recording history in the Olympics. Many Indian players have lost close bronze medal matches over the course of the last 10 days, especially in events like shooting and archery. <br> <br>The most successful campaigner of India from the Tokyo Olympics, Neeraj Chopra, who went on to win the gold medal in the men?s javelin throw, entered the track today with many hopes and huge dependency over his shoulders. The Champ did not receive any more than a single throw, which was a record in the qualification round. With an 89.34m throw, he encrypted yet another entry into the final round, which is to be scheduled on the 8th of August. <br> <br>The Indian Men?s Hockey team has been another major highlight, and in the ongoing match, Harmanpreet has led India to a lead in the beginning minutes against Germany in the semi-finals. If they can win this game, they will fix India?s second silver in the Paris Olympics. </p>

Phogat created history when she won the finest encounter of the women?s 50 kg freestyle wrestling. </p>

<p><br>She next entered the quarterfinals, where she had to face a weaker opponent in Oksana Livach, as the Indian wrestler smashed the Ukrainian in a befitting contest to enter the semis. The semis awaited Yusneylys Guzman, who didn?t seem the toughest among all opponents for the lady who just smacked the defending Olympic Champion. In a much-anticipated game, Vinesh thrashed her opponent 5-0 to finish her bouts and enter the Finals. </p>

<p><br>Phogat will now go on to feature in the finals tomorrow in Paris, which will be a debut for any Indian wrestler at an Olympic final. The match is to be played against the USA's No. 1 ranked wrestler in 50 kg women?s freestyle, Sarah Hildebrandt. <br> <br>The game would be a hope for all Indians, and they would watch with their heads bowed down and hands joined to see the dream come true of India securing a gold in one of the root sports the country is known for. </p>

<p><br>However, Vinesh Phogat has already assured India of their first silver in this year's Olympics, and if fortune favors the brave Phogat, she will be her dad?s pride, as Mahavir Phogat is one of the very men who claimed that he expects Vinesh to end his desire for an Olympic gold.<br></p>

Vinesh Phogat enters the finale of the Paris Olympic 2024 - Confirms Silver

<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>

</figure>



<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>

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

paris-olympics-after-vineshs-upset-and-mirabai-chanus-other-close-miss-all-eyes-are-on-indias-golden-boy-neeraj-chopra-as-india-enters-day-13

<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">Indian athletes and players who clinched medals at Paris: </h2>

<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>
