India’s most successful Olympic campaign
India’s tally of seven medals at the Olympics 2021 is its highest-ever haul at the Games since 1900. It all started on the first day with Mirabai Chanu’s silver in weightlifting. The second medal came thanks to Lovlina Borgohain, who won India’s only boxing medal in Tokyo. The pugilist lost to Bussenaz Surmeneli in the semis but still won bronze, making her the first Olympic medalist from Assam.
PV Sindhu won India’s third medal as she bagged bronze in badminton singles and became the second Indian to win two Olympic medals. Ravi Kumar Dahiya and Bajrang Punia added another silver and bronze to India’s tally in wrestling. Neeraj Chopra’s javelin throw gold on the penultimate day took the total to seven, as the Haryana lad created history by becoming the first Indian to ever win an Olympic gold in athletics.
