India delivered a remarkable performance at the 33rd Summer Games, securing six medals on the global stage. With one silver and five bronze medals, Indian athletes showcased resilience, skill, and determination across multiple disciplines. From shooting and wrestling to hockey and athletics, every podium finish reflected years of dedication and hard work.
The highlights of India’s campaign included Manu Bhaker’s stellar double-bronze in shooting, Swapnil Kusale’s historic mark in the 50m Rifle 3 Positions, the men’s hockey team’s fighting spirit, Neeraj Chopra’s silver in javelin, and Aman Sehrawat’s breakthrough in wrestling. Together, these victories underscored India’s growing presence in the Olympic arena and inspired millions back home.
Manu Bhaker emerged as one of India’s brightest stars at the Paris Games. She claimed her first medal with a bronze in the women’s 10m Air Pistol event, bouncing back from the heartbreak of Tokyo 2020. Her consistent performance under pressure earned her a score of 221.7, securing India’s first medal at the Games.
Adding to her tally, Bhaker teamed up with Sarabjot Singh in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event to clinch another bronze. This achievement made her the first Indian woman to win two medals at a single edition of the Summer Games, cementing her place in Indian sporting history.
Swapnil Kusale scripted history by winning India’s first-ever medal in the 50m Rifle 3 Positions event. His bronze not only boosted India’s medal count but also highlighted the nation’s growing prowess in shooting disciplines. Kusale’s achievement was celebrated widely as it marked a new milestone for India in Olympic shooting.
His calm composure and technical precision under pressure made this medal all the more significant. It also demonstrated the depth of talent within India’s shooting contingent, setting the stage for future successes.
The Indian men’s hockey team carried forward its resurgence on the world stage by winning a bronze medal in Paris. In a thrilling third-place playoff, India defeated Spain 2-1, with captain Harmanpreet Singh scoring both goals. This victory marked India’s second consecutive Olympic hockey medal after their Tokyo 2020 bronze.
The team’s performance showcased unity, discipline, and tactical brilliance. Harmanpreet Singh’s leadership and scoring prowess proved decisive, while the team as a whole displayed grit and determination. The back-to-back medals highlighted India’s steady return as a hockey powerhouse.
Neeraj Chopra once again rose to the occasion by clinching a silver medal in the men’s javelin throw. His massive 89.45m throw in the second round secured him a podium finish, making him the first Indian track-and-field athlete to win two Olympic medals.
Although Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem claimed gold with a record-breaking throw of 92.97m, Chopra’s performance brought pride to the nation. Building on his Tokyo 2020 gold, Chopra reinforced his status as one of the world’s elite athletes and a role model for aspiring sports stars in India.
Young wrestler Aman Sehrawat added to India’s medal tally by winning bronze in the men’s freestyle 57kg category. He secured victory against Puerto Rico’s Darian Toi Cruz with a commanding 13-5 scoreline after narrowly missing out in the semifinals.
Sehrawat’s achievement was a breakthrough moment for him, marking his rise on the global stage. His relentless energy and skill against tough competition signaled the arrival of another promising Indian wrestler capable of carrying forward the nation’s proud wrestling legacy.
With six medals, including five bronze and one silver, India’s campaign at the 33rd Summer Games was a testament to resilience, preparation, and ambition. From seasoned champions like Neeraj Chopra to young stars like Aman Sehrawat, every athlete contributed to shaping India’s Olympic story.
These achievements not only brought glory but also strengthened the foundation for future success. The Paris Games reminded the world of India’s potential, as its athletes continue to break barriers and inspire generations to dream bigger.
