Despite the disappointment in shooting, a total of 7 medals at the Tokyo Olympics proved to be India's best-ever show at the Games

Despite the disappointment in shooting, a total of 7 medals at the Tokyo Olympics proved to be India's best-ever show at the Games.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Mirabai Chanu's perfect start
 Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu gave India a perfect start by clinching the 1st medal for the country at the 2020 Games. She&nbsp;lifted a total of 202 kg, with 87 kg in the Snatch and 115 kg in the Clean &amp; Jerk to win silver. With that, she buried her demons of the 2016 Rio Olympics where Chanu&nbsp;had failed to log a single legitimate lift.
 Aditi Ashok puts Indian women's golf on the world map
Not many gave her a fighting chance but Aditi Ashok made the world sit up and take notice of Indian women's golf at the Tokyo Games. She almost created history but missed a podium finish by the narrowest of margins and finished 4th. The 23-year-old came into the Games ranked 200th and missed bronze by just 1 stroke.
 Ravi Kumar Dahiya wins silver in debut Olympic games
Bajrang Punia was being tagged as the favourite to bag a gold medal but he had to settle for a bronze. Ravi Kumar Dahiya though give India a reason to celebrate as he clinched silver in&nbsp;57kg freestyle wrestling in what was his debut Olympic Games. With that, he became the 5th Indian wrestler to finish on the Olympic podium.
 PV Sindhu becomes a double Olympic medallist
 PV Sindhu may be going through a medal drought for a while now but India's ace shuttler was on top of her game at the Tokyo Olympics. She won her bronze medal match and became the first female Indian athlete to win 2 Olympic medals. She had won silver at the Rio Games in 2016.
&nbsp; Brilliant show in hockey Probably the most satisfying part about the Tokyo Olympics was the way India's hockey teams played. While the men's team ended a 41-year-long medal wait by clinching bronze, the women's team reached the semi-finals, which was their best-ever finish at the games. They, however, went down fighting to Great Britain&nbsp;in the bronze medal match.
 Neeraj Chopra's historic Gold The most iconic moment of the Games came in India's last discipline when Neeraj Chopra created history by clinching the gold medal in Javelin with a&nbsp;throw of 87.58m. It was not only India's 1st individual Olympic medal after Abhinav Bindra's&nbsp;gold in 2008 but was independent India's first-ever track and field Olympic medal.&nbsp;

As India celebrates its 75th Independence day, we take a look at&nbsp;6 of India's biggest Olympic success stories.
Hockey Gold medals till 1980
Indian men's hockey team may have clinched their first Olympic medal in 41 years at the Tokyo Games, but this were different till 1980. India was a force to reckon with and there was hardly a team that could challenge the heroes then. Calling it a golden age of Indian hockey won't be wrong as India won its first Olympic Gold in 1928, and until&nbsp;1960, the Indian men's team remained unbeaten at the Games, winning 6 gold medals in a row.&nbsp;India sweat away 2 more Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze medals from there on till the 1980 Olympics.&nbsp;
Leander Paes Bronze in 1996
From there on, It was a long dry spell as India had to wait for 16 years for an Olympic medal. Ace tennis star Leander Paes's&nbsp;Bronze at the Atlanta Games not only ended that poor run but it was also India's&nbsp;first individual Olympic medal in 44 years. What made it sweater was the fact that Paes was knocked out in the first round of the men's singles event in the previous edition.&nbsp;
Abhinav Bindra Gold in 2008
Though Paes&nbsp;couldn't compete for Gold after losing in the semis, shooter&nbsp;Abhinav&nbsp;Bindra&nbsp;made sure he bagged the biggest prize of the prestigious tournament 12 years later in Beijing. By shooting a 10.8 on his last shot in the men's 10m air rifle final, he then became the first individual Indian athlete to win gold at the Olympics.&nbsp;The shooter had missed a near second Olympic medal at the Rio Olympics, which proved to be his last Games.
Sushil Kumar 2 Olympic medals
During the same very Olympics, wrestler Sushil&nbsp;Kumar became a rage in Indian sports. He&nbsp;burst on to the scene with a Bronze at the Beijing Olympics and then backed it up with a Silver medal, 4 years later at the London Games. He had then&nbsp;become the first Indian athlete to win 2 Olympic medals in an individual event.&nbsp;
PV Sindhu 2 Olympic medals
Sushil&nbsp;was the lone Indian in that club for 9 years&nbsp;until PV Sindhu&nbsp;joined him. The Indian shuttler emerged through the shadows of Saina Nehwal and to many people's surprise, went on to clinch a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. She proved that wasn't a flash in the pan as Sindhu&nbsp;finished on the podium in Tokyo as well, this time winning bronze. With that she became the first Indian female athlete to achieve that feat in the history of the Games.
Neeraj Chopra Gold
Then came the most iconic moment in Indian Olympic history. Neeraj&nbsp;Chopra lived up to his billing and clinched India its first Gold at the 2020 Olympics in the very last event. His throw of&nbsp;87.58m in the javelin throw final, not only helped&nbsp;Neeraj to enter the prestigious individual Gold medal club for India where Aabhinav&nbsp;Bindra&nbsp;was left lonely for 13 years but also became the first athlete from India to bag an Olympic Track and Field medal.&nbsp;

In this episode of News Guru, we look at India's journey at the Olympics and what it needs to do even better at the Olympics in Paris in 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;editorji's Vikram Chandra spoke to the men who won the last two Olympic golds for India, before Chopra, shooter Abhinav Bindra and 1980 Indian Hockey Captain, V Baskaran.&nbsp;

With 1 gold, 2 silvers and 4&nbsp;bronze medals, has this been India's best Olympics ever?

Most Indian athletes dream of representing the nation with a hope to wear a shirt with the Olympic rings on it. A few get a chance to play for India, a handful go to the Olympics and perhaps one in a billion ends up winning a medal. PV Sindhu doesn't fall in any of those compartments. Two medals at successive Olympics make PV Sindhu the only Indian woman to achieve that feat.
If we call the Silver in Rio 2016 a high point in Sindhu's career, then a well-deserved bronze in Tokyo is no less. The habit of winning and domination started very early as she broke into the international circuit at the age of 14. A bronze at the 2009 Asian Sub-Junior Championship was the first big international medal for the Hyderabadi shuttler. In 2012, when Saina Nehwal, the flag bearer of Indian women's badminton, won the bronze at the London Olympics, Sindhu was quietly working hard as the power center slowly started shifting towards PV Sindhu. While Saina taught Indians how to breach the Great Wall of China, Sindhu taught us how to dismantle the Chinese.
In 2013, Sindhu opened her World Championship account with a Bronze in Copenhagen. The next year, she repeated the success with another bronze in Guangzhou. In 2017 and 2018, Sindhu captured a silver each in Glasgow and Nanjing. Sindhu's biggest success came in 2019 when she became the first Indian to become a World Champion. Along with her 2016 Olympic Silver medal, Sindhu had already eclipsed what Saina had achieved. But going past Saina and her records wasn't Sindhu's aim.
Sindhu wanted to dominate and her record against top-ranked players proved her capabilities. Comparisons with Saina Nehwal were inevitable but perhaps now, Sindhu has reached a stage where those are immaterial.

The entire nation was on its feet when PV Sindhu battled Carolina Marin in the final of the 2016 Rio Olympics. The chance to win the first-ever gold in Badminton at the Summer Olympics blew away after Marin walked away with the top award, only to leave Sindhu and the entire nation devastated.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The loss in the final didn&rsquo;t deter the 26-year-old as she dominated the court for a few years after that night in Rio. 2 Silver &amp; 1 Gold Medal at the World Championships, a silver at the Asian &amp; Commonwealth Games &amp; tonnes of trophies at the&nbsp;BWF series events helped Sindhu climb to the number 2 rank in the world championship. Sindhu was inching towards total dominance but things took a nosedive. Apart from the World Championship Gold in Basel, Sindhu had an exceptionally poor 2019 with just 1 final and 2 semi-finals in all the tournaments she played.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
But in 2021, Sindhu wants a turnaround. Since she is the only one from India to qualify in the women&rsquo;s singles event at Tokyo Olympics, Sindhu wants an upgrade from her last performance at the Summer Games. With Carolina Marin, the defending Olympic Champion pulling out of the race, Sindhu is one of the top medal prospects on the court.&nbsp;&nbsp;
