Indian athletes continue to etch their names in Olympic history, with Manu Bhaker, Sushil Kumar, and P V Sindhu each earning two medals at the prestigious Games. Bhaker, showcasing remarkable mental fortitude, secured her dual medals in the same edition, a first for an Indian in the post-independence era.
Sushil Kumar, India's pioneering two-time Olympic medalist in wrestling, captured the nation's attention with a bronze in 2008 and a historic silver in 2012. However, his legacy was marred by his involvement in a 2021 murder case, leading to his imprisonment.
P V Sindhu, one of India's most celebrated shuttlers, made headlines by winning a silver medal in Rio 2016 and a bronze in Tokyo 2020. She now aims for an unprecedented third Olympic medal at the upcoming Paris Games, further cementing her status in Indian sports history.
