India performance in Paris Olympics- Indian challenges in Paris Olympics have ended. Today i.e. Sunday, August 11, no Indian athlete will be in action on the last day of the Paris Olympics. This time a group of 117 athletes represented India in the Olympics, but India managed to win medals in only 6 events, which included 1 silver and 5 bronze. The disappointing thing was that there was not even a single gold among them. Not getting gold means that the national anthem of the country was not played even once on the podium. Last time Neeraj Chopra had got this good fortune by winning gold in Tokyo Olympics, but this time he also had to be satisfied with silver.
