India ended its campaign with six medals, pending Vinesh Phogat’s verdict, in the Paris Olympics. After achieving their best-ever tally of six medals at the Tokyo Olympics, India fell short of that mark by one medal in Paris.
Yes, India did not win a Gold medal and finished 71st on the rankings, even behind Pakistan. However, considering as many as six fourth-place finishes, India can be proud of what they have achieved.
While badminton stars and boxing heroes failed to live up to the hype, India did well in shooting, bringing back glory days and ending an 8-year drought. Wrestling contingent proved beyond doubt that it will remain one of the most productive sports for India at the Games.
The track and field contingent disappointed, but it’s not fair to expect a lot from them, considering the difference in support systems for our athletes and those in the big medal-winning nations.
Stop being judgemental. Yes, question the athletes for not winning medals, question the system. But, be fair and be respectful towards India’s Olympians.
In the latest episode of the Olympic tales, Akshay Ramesh, Kingshuk Kusari and Alan John discuss India’s Paris Olympics 2024.
