Pravin Jadhav was arguably the find of the Games, finishing as the best male archer in the qualification and earning a shot at the mixed team event with Deepika Kumari. India's medal winners at Tokyo Olympics MedalĪrchery is one of the most exciting live events to watch at the Olympic Games and it sure produced stunning moments from the Indian athletes. Here, we take a look at the overall results from every event featuring an Indian athlete: The pandemic-delayed Games made things challenging in some way or the other for every athlete to took part. One of the things you always hear associated with the Olympics is how participation at the Games is no mean feat, but it is especially more so in a year like 2021. While the medal winners will be celebrated in the years to come, it is important to recognise and, at the very least, record the achievements of every athlete who went to the Olympics. The Games started off with a bang for India, with a silver for weightlifter Mirabai Chanu on the first official day of action and finished with wrestler Bajrang Punia and javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra (with a gold, no less) pushing the country past their previous highest medal tally. So the count of who represented India in various events stands approximately at 120-plus. In athletics, some members of the original squad of 119 did not end up participating in any of the relay events. It is worth noting that a squad of 16 was allowed for a hockey match but Indian teams also used two players from their reserves and a total of 18 players made appearances in the tournament. While the initial contingent was tallied at 119 athletes, Sumit Nagal (tennis) and Diksha Dagar (golf) also made the cut late, making the contingent officially 121-member strong as per the International Olympic Committee. India sent a record contingent to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, surpassing their mark from Rio 2016.
