India finished the Tokyo Olympics campaign with seven medals, thus surpassing previous best tally of six that the country had achieved back in 2012 in London. Saikhom Mirabai Chanu opened India's account early with the Games being just one day old and star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra ended the show on a stellar note, bagging India's first gold in Tokyo, thus ending an over 100-year wait for a medal in athletics. The hockey team, both men's and the women, also made the nation proud. While Manpreet Singh and his unit ended a 41-year-long medal drought, Rani Rampal's brigade finished fourth, the best by any Indian women's hockey team at the Olympics. In wrestling there was both delight and disappointment as two muscled their way to Olympic medals, while Vinesh Phogat, a top contender, bowed out at the quarters.More Related News
