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.

by

Indian badminton ace P V Sindhu won against Estonia’s Kristin Kuuba in the women’s singles group stage match at the 2024 Paris Olympics on July 31. This victory allowed Sindhu to advance to the Round of 16, also known as the pre-quarters.

Commanding Performance

Sindhu showcased her dominance with a 21-5, 21-10 victory in her second and last Group M match at the La Chapelle Arena. In the first game, she secured a 21-5 win in just 14 minutes. She continued her commanding performance by winning the second game 21-10 in 19 minutes.

Looking Ahead

In the upcoming Round of 16, Sindhu may face China’s He Bingjiao, whom she defeated to win the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. This match is anticipated to be a challenging encounter, with Sindhu aiming to continue her winning streak.

PV Sindhu Starts Olympics with a Bang, Defeats Maldives’ Fathimath

PV Sindhu: The Indian badminton contingent at the Paris Olympics 2024 got off to a flying start as PV Sindhu, the two-time Olympic medalist, cruised into the next round with a dominant victory over Maldives’ Fathimath Abdul Razzaq. The match, a Group M encounter, showcased the Indian ace’s superior skills as she dispatched her opponent in straight games, 21-9, 21-6, in a match that lasted a mere 29 minutes.

The disparity in rankings between the two players was evident from the outset. Sindhu, seeded 10th and currently ranked 13th in the world, was a class apart from her Maldivian adversary, ranked 111th. The first game was a one-sided affair, with Sindhu dictating the pace from the start. Her precise smashes and deft drop shots proved too much for Fathimath to handle as the Indian raced to an 11-4 lead before wrapping up the game in just 13 minutes.

The second game was more of the same. Sindhu, brimming with confidence, surged ahead to a 4-0 lead and never looked back. Despite a brief fightback from Fathimath, Sindhu’s superior skill and experience proved decisive. The Indian shuttler eventually closed out the match with ease, securing a comfortable victory and a place in the next round.

With this win, Sindhu has taken a significant step towards her goal of securing a third consecutive Olympic medal. However, the road ahead is far from easy. Her next challenge will be against Estonia’s Kristin Kuuba, ranked 75th in the world. The match, scheduled for Wednesday, promises to be a sterner test for the Indian star.

Sindhu’s performance on Sunday has undoubtedly lifted the spirits of the Indian contingent. The two-time Olympic medalist has been a beacon of hope for Indian badminton, and her early success in Paris has set a positive tone for the campaign. As she progresses through the tournament, the nation will be eagerly watching her every move, hoping that she can continue her winning streak and bring home another Olympic medal.

The Indian badminton team will be looking to Sindhu to inspire her teammates and carry the momentum forward. With a strong performance in the coming matches, Sindhu can not only secure a medal for herself but also elevate the profile of badminton in India to new heights.

The Rio 2016 silver medalist and Tokyo 2020 bronze winner, Sindhu, will next face Estonia’s Kristin Kuuba (World No. 75) on Wednesday.

Suraj Panwar’s Debut: Road to Paris Olympics in the 20km Race Walk

by

Suraj Panwar, a 23-year-old Indian race walker, is preparing for a unique experience at the Paris Olympics. Having competed primarily in the 20km race walk event, Panwar will now be participating in the newly introduced mixed race walk relay, which covers the marathon distance of 42.195km.

Background and Family

Suraj Panwar, a 23-year-old Indian race walker, is set to embark on a remarkable journey at the Paris Olympics. Panwar’s life has been marked by significant hardship. He tragically lost his father, Udai Singh Panwar, a forest guard, when he was just an infant. Raised single-handedly by his mother, Poonam, who worked at the forest department’s nursery, Panwar’s upbringing instilled in him immense resilience and determination.

Facing a New Olympic Challenge

Panwar will be making his Olympic debut in the newly introduced mixed race walk relay event, partnering with Priyanka Goswami. This innovative event, making its Olympic premiere in Paris, covers a grueling marathon distance of 42.195km. The race format involves alternating legs between the male and female walkers. The male walker tackles the first 12.195km, followed by a 10km stint from the female walker. This pattern continues until the finish line, with the combined time of both athletes determining the final result. Panwar will cover a total of 22.195km across two legs, with a designated break in between for recovery with the help of support staff.

Training and Preparation

Despite the unique team aspect of the mixed relay, Panwar is currently training alone at SAI Bengaluru. His teammate, Priyanka Goswami, is training abroad and won’t arrive in Paris until late July. To simulate race conditions, Panwar incorporates breaks into his training regime. He walks 12.195km, followed by a 45-minute break, before resuming for another 10km. Panwar’s training is overseen by his coach, Tatiana Sibileva, from Russia.

Overcoming Adversity on the Road to the Olympics

Panwar’s path to the Olympics wasn’t without its obstacles. He initially achieved the qualifying standard for the individual 20km race walk event at the National Championships in Chandigarh. However, a technical issue led to the disqualification of his time. Despite this setback, he managed to secure a spot through the world ranking quota. The Athletics Federation of India then made the surprising decision to select him for the mixed race walk relay event.

Perseverance Pays Off: The Olympic Dream Realized

The selection for the Olympics came as a surprise to Panwar, especially after the disappointment of his National Championships timing being disqualified. However, his unwavering perseverance paid off. The federation recognized his overall performance and selected him for the Paris Games. Panwar credits his unwavering spirit to his stoic mother, who has always been his source of inspiration. Despite her not fully comprehending the intricacies of his sport, her constant advice to focus on his training has been a guiding force for him.

Support Systems and Future Prospects

Recently, Panwar received a welcome boost as the Mission Olympic Cell included him in the Target Olympics Podium Scheme’s (TOPS) core group. This inclusion ensures financial support from the government to cover his training and other expenses. Additionally, he will receive a monthly allowance of Rs 50,000. Panwar plans to surprise his mother with the news of the allowance once he starts receiving it.

Conclusion: A Testament to Resilience

Suraj Panwar’s journey to the Paris Olympics is a testament to his remarkable resilience, unwavering dedication, and the unwavering support of his mother. As he gears up for his debut on the grand Olympic stage, Panwar remains focused on giving his all for his country and making the most of this incredible opportunity.
