Post At: Aug 01/2024 05:10PM

Since the country’s debut in the 1900 Olympics where they won 2 medals, India has won a total of 38 medals, including three in the ongoing Paris Games.

On August 1, shooter Swapnil Kusale bagged India’s third medal in Paris with a bronze medal in the men’s Rifle 50M 3 Positions event.

Shooter Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals in the Women’s 10m air pistol shooting and Mixed team 10m air pistol shooting with partner Sarabjot Singh respectively. With her two triumphs, Bhaker became the first Indian athlete since Independence to win 2 medals in the same Olympics since Norman Pritchard achieved that feat for India in the 1900 edition.

Even though, Pritchard’s medals were initially credited to Great Britain, the International Olympic Committee later credited them to India. Since then, Indian athletes have gone strength to strength with their 7-medal haul at Tokyo Olympics in 2021, the highest in history for an Indian contingent.

Here’s a look at the athletes who have won India medals in the Olympics, starting from 1900:
