“Dual Medals -India’s Olympic Journey 1900 to 2024”

Dual Medals-India’s Olympic Journey is a remarkable story of achievements, challenges, and national pride. Since first competing at the 1900 Paris Olympics, the country has slowly but surely made its mark on the global sports stage.

In the early days, Norman Pritchard was a trailblazer, winning two silver medals in Paris 1900. This was a significant start for Indian athletes in the Olympics. Over the years, India enjoyed great success in hockey, winning multiple gold medals, including a dominant era in the 1920s and 1980s.

The journey has had its ups and downs. India has seen both periods of great success and quieter times. Despite this, the determination of Indian athletes has always been strong.

Manu Bhaker added to this proud history by winning two bronze medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics. She achieved this in both the women’s 10m air pistol event and the mixed 10m air pistol event, becoming the second Indian after Norman Pritchard to win two medals in a single Olympics.
