Though India’s performance in the Paris Olympics in 2024 wasn’t that good compared to the Tokyo Olympics 2020, it wasn’t all gloomy. In the Tokyo Olympics 2024, India had a great run with seven medals(1 Gold, 2 Silver, 4 Bronze) and finished 48th on the medal tally, which was India’s best rank in over four decades. India slipped 23 ranks below their Tokyo Olympics position; India’s contingent consisted of 117 athletes participating in various disciplines, but this time, India failed to get a gold medal, due to which they fell behind Pakistan in the medal tally. Due to Arshad Nadeem’s Gold in the Javelin throw, Pakistan finished 62nd in the rankings.

India’s Flag Bearers: Opening And Closing Ceremony
At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024. India’s table tennis player Sharath Kamal and Badminton Player PV Sindhu were the flag bearers from India in the opening ceremony, and during the closing ceremony, India’s Manu Bhaker, who became the first female athlete from India to win two Olympic medals in the same event and the Hockey team’s goalkeeper PR Sreejesh who announced his retirement from Hockey after winning Bronze medal head the India’s returning contingent in the closing ceremony.
Controversies:
Paris Olympics 2024 wasn’t immune to controversies. The Opening Ceremony and the issue of the River Seine were among them. There was a lot to mention, but two controversies that affected India in the Paris Olympics 2024 were related to Wrestling and Boxing.
In boxing, India’s Nishant Dev, who was fighting Mexico’s Marco Verde Alvarez in the Quarter-finals, was handed over a split decision loss. Indian fans criticized the decision, and former Indian Olympics champion Vijender Singh also commented on Nishant Dev’s loss. Nishant Dev was eliminated after the loss.
The next one cost India a Gold or an assured Silver. India’s Vinesh Phogat, who came just 100gm above her weight category before the finals, got disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024 and didn’t even get her deserved Silver medal. Vinesh knocked on the Court of Arbitration for Sports door and appealed for a joint silver for herself, but it remains to be seen whether she will be rewarded a joint silver, as the verdict of CAS is yet to come.
