Indian athletes who won medals in Olympics 2024
Olympics 2024 was organized in Paris, the capital of France. This time India has won a total of 6 medals in the Olympics. The Paris Olympics concluded after the closing ceremony on 11 August. However, Indian athletes did not perform as expected in the Olympics this time. India has ranked 71st this time with one silver and five bronze medals. Neeraj Chopra won the only silver medal for India. In such a situation, this question must have come to everyone’s mind that how much money is given to the athletes who win medals from the Olympics, so let us tell you that the athletes who win medals from the Olympics are not given anything in the form of money except the medal.

Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals in shooting at Paris 2024; one individual and the other in the mixed team with Sarabjot Singh. Meanwhile, Swapnil Kusale also returned home after winning a bronze medal in shooting. Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal in the men’s javelin throw event and the men’s hockey team won the bronze medal by defeating Spain. Aman Sehrawat also won a bronze medal in wrestling.
