Olympics 2020 India Schedule for 31 July, Day 8

The Tokyo Olympics began from 24 July and have held the people together as the athletes fight it out for winning the medal and bring laurels to the country. Although India only sent a single delegate to the 1900 Paris Olympics, Tokyo 2020 will mark the 100th anniversary of India’s first formal delegation to an Olympics, which took place in Antwerp in 1920. India has won a total of 29 medals in Olympics history, which includes 9 Gold, 8 Silver, and 12 Bronze medals. In the 2021 Olympics, the silver medal was won by Saikhom Mirabai Chanu in 49kg Weightlifting category. But India landed disappointment in players like Marykom in boxing, Deepika Kumari in Archery, and shooters like Manu Bhaker and Saurabh Choudhry.
