The countdown for the Paris Olympics has begun. The Olympics is the biggest event of this year, which will be held in Paris, the capital of France, from 26 July to 11 August. A historic performance was seen from Indian players in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Last time India had a total of 7 medals. This was the best performance of Indian players in the Olympic Games so far and they broke the record of the 2012 London Olympics. India had won 6 medals in the 2012 London Olympics.

History was created on the very first day

Olympics is a platform where players from all over the world participate and India is not going to be any less than anyone. In the 2020 Olympics, the responsibility of enhancing India's pride was on 126 players, including 71 men and 55 women players, but who would have thought that India would create history on the very first day on such a big sports platform. Mirabai Chanu won the silver medal in weightlifting for India on the very first day of the Tokyo Olympics. This was the first time in the history of the Olympics that India was successful in winning a medal on the first day.

After girls, it was the turn of boys and it was our country's sport i.e. wrestling, so it was impossible for a medal not to come to India. India got not one but two medals in wrestling. Ravi Kumar Dahiya won the silver medal for India and Bajrang Punia won the bronze medal.

The wait of 41 years was also over

On one hand, the chest was puffed with pride due to the victory and on the other hand, eyes were moist.
