Indians Who Finished Fourth at the Olympics 1920 to 2024

August 10, 2024July 29, 2024 by Neelam Saini

The competition at the Olympics is fierce, and even a minute slip-up can cost a medal. Several Indians have come close to winning a medal but finished in the heartbreaking fourth position. Here is a list of Indians who narrowly missed out on a podium finish at the Olympic Games.

Randhir Shinde – Antwerp 1920 Olympics, Men’s 54kg Freestyle Wrestling

At the Antwerp 1920 Olympics, wrestler Randhir Shinde lost the bronze medal playoff in the men’s featherweight freestyle division against Philip Bernard of Great Britain. He had defeated Henry Inman (Great Britain) in the quarter-finals and Sam Gerson (USA) in the semis. A fourth-place finish today could have fetched him a medal since two bronze medals are awarded in wrestling.

Keshav Mangave – Helsinki 1952 Olympics, Men’s 62kg Freestyle Wrestling

Freestyle wrestler Keshav Mangave advanced to Round 5 of the men’s freestyle 62kg (featherweight) event but lost to Josiah Henson of the USA. A win would have put him in the top three that competed for the medals. Keshav Mangave finished fourth.

Team India – Melbourne 1956 Olympics, Men’s Football

The Indian men’s football team had its best outing in the Olympics when it featured in the bronze medal contest at Melbourne 1956. Earlier, India beat hosts Australia in the quarter-finals. In the match, Neville D’Souza became the first Asian to record a hat-trick at the Olympics. In the semi-finals, India lost to Yugoslavia and then went down 3-0 to Bulgaria in the bronze medal match to finish fourth.

Milkha Singh – Rome 1960 Olympics, Men’s 400m Athletics

Legendary sprinter Milkha Singh missed the medal by a whisker in the men’s 400m sprint at the Rome 1960 Olympics. He finished in fourth position in the final, just 0.1 seconds slower than the bronze medallist.

Prem Nath – Munich 1972 Olympics, Men’s 57kg Freestyle Wrestling

Freestyle wrestler Prem Nath fought till the seventh round and accumulated nine penalty points in all, finishing just shy of a medal. Earlier, scores were calculated by handing penalties for losses. At the end of all preliminary rounds, the three wrestlers with the fewest penalties won medals.

Sudesh Kumar – Munich 1972 Olympics, Men’s 52kg Freestyle Wrestling

Like Prem Nath, Sudesh Kumar also came agonizingly close to a medal at the Munich 1972 Olympics in the men’s 52kg freestyle wrestling event. Sudesh finished fourth with seven penalty points.

PT Usha – Los Angeles 1984 Olympics, Women’s 400m Hurdles Athletics

After Milkha Singh’s heartbreak in 1960, PT Usha came close to winning a medal in the women’s 400m athletics event. Payyoli Express, as Usha was popularly called, missed the bronze medal by one-hundredth of a second at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics.

At the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics, PT Usha was in remarkable form. She finished second in her morning heats and secured her spot in the final by defeating Judy Brown for the second time in the semi-finals. However, the final was marred by a restart after Australian Debbie Flintoff prematurely began her race.

Running in lane 5, Usha was initially slow off the blocks but quickly caught up, joining the leading pack. With five runners in contention, Usha matched Cristieana Cojocaru stride for stride until the Romanian edged out with a decisive photo finish. Morocco’s Nawal El Moutawakel led most of the race to win gold, while Judy Brown surged in the final stretch to take silver.

Usha later revealed that the restart threw her off and she struggled to maintain her energy due to an unfamiliar diet of porridge and pickles, as she couldn’t adapt to American food. Despite the heartbreak of finishing fourth, PT Usha, known as the Payyoli Express, took immense pride in her performance at just 20 years old, marking a significant moment in her career.

Rajinder Singh – Los Angeles 1984 Olympics, Men’s 74kg Freestyle Wrestling

The story of Indian wrestlers coming close to an Olympic medal continued at the LA 1984 Games. Rajinder Singh, who was placed second till the penultimate round in the men’s 74kg freestyle wrestling event, lost the bronze medal to Saban Sejdi in the final round.

Leander Paes/Mahesh Bhupati – Athens 2004 Olympics, Men’s Doubles Tennis

At the Athens 2004 Olympics, the legendary Indian tennis duo of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi went down in the men’s doubles semi-finals after going past pairs that included Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. The Indians lost 7(7)-6(5), 4-6, 16-14 to Croatia’s Mario Ancic and Ivan Ljubicic in the bronze medal match.

Kunjarani Devi – Athens 2004 Olympics, Women’s 48kg Weightlifting

July 30, 2024July 29, 2024 by Neelam Saini

Nicolas Fink: The Working Athlete

Nicolas Fink is a professional swimmer who specializes in breaststroke. Despite achieving significant success in his athletic career, including a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Fink has managed to balance his passion for swimming with a demanding professional life.

After completing his swimming career at the University of Georgia, Fink pursued further education, earning a master’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from Georgia Tech. This academic achievement laid the foundation for his post-swimming career.

In 2023, Fink took a significant step by accepting a full-time job as a project manager at Quanta Utility Engineering Services in Atlanta. To support his wife, Melanie Margalis Fink (a fellow Olympian), who accepted a coaching position at Southern Methodist University, the couple relocated to Dallas. Fink continues to work remotely while juggling his demanding career and family life.

Fink’s journey is a testament to the ability to excel in both sports and academics. His story challenges the stereotype of athletes as solely focused on their sport, demonstrating that it’s possible to build a successful career while maintaining a high level of athletic performance.

Despite the challenges of balancing a full-time job with elite-level training, Fink managed to secure a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This remarkable achievement highlights his dedication, discipline, and unwavering passion for swimming.

Swimming Achievements

Lee Kiefer – Won GOLD Medal in Women’s individual foil Fencing at Paris Olympics 2024

July 30, 2024July 29, 2024 by Neelam Saini

Lee Kiefer -The focus on Lee Kiefer’s extraordinary athletic achievement in winning her second consecutive Olympic gold medal in fencing understandably overshadowed her parallel career as a medical student. The intense spotlight on the Olympics, coupled with the dramatic nature of her victory, naturally drew the majority of attention to her fencing accomplishments.

Furthermore, while Kiefer’s journey as a dual-threat athlete and scholar is undoubtedly inspiring, it’s a complex narrative to weave into a concise news piece focused on the immediate excitement of the Olympic Games. Sports journalism often prioritizes the dramatic and immediate, leaving less space for in-depth profiles that delve into the athlete’s personal life and career aspirations outside of the sport.

It’s likely that as the initial euphoria of the Olympic victory subsides, there will be more opportunities to explore the fascinating story of Lee Kiefer’s life, including her dedication to her medical studies and her aspirations as a future physician.

Balancing a demanding medical school curriculum with elite athletic performance has been a formidable challenge, but the determined fencer has proven time and again her ability to excel in both realms.

As the spotlight intensifies, Kiefer faces a new set of pressures. The weight of expectation, coupled with the fierce competition, will test her mental fortitude. Yet, with unwavering focus and the support of her family, including fellow Olympian husband Gerek Meinhardt, Kiefer is poised to leave her mark once again on the world of fencing.

Lee Kiefer (born June 15, 1994) is an American right-handed foil fencer and a two-time Olympic champion in women’s individual foil, having won gold at both the 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympics. She is a four-time NCAA champion, 12-time team Pan American champion, 13-time individual Pan American champion, and 2018 team world champion. As a three-time Olympian, Kiefer made history as the first American foil fencer to win an individual Olympic gold medal. Kiefer has competed in the 2012 London, 2016 Rio de Janeiro, and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, showcasing her exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.
