India at Olympics 2024, Day 15 as it happened: Paris campaign ends with one silver and five bronze

That’s it for Scroll’s coverage of India’s campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

The campaign started well for India with the shooters getting us off the mark with three bronze medals.

Then there was heartbreak for Arjun Babuta, Anantjeet Naruka and Maheshwari Chauhan in the mixed skeet event, Lakshya Sen, Dhiraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhakat in archery, Mirabai Chanu – all finishing in fourth place in their respective events.

Uncertainty still remains about Vinesh Phogat, as her case for a silver medal in wrestling is still waiting a result at the Court of Arbitration of Sport.

There was heartbreak for the Indian men’s hockey team as well, as they lost narrowly to Germany in the semi-final. But then turned things around quickly in their come-from-behind bronze medal match win against Spain.

Neeraj Chopra, the darling of Indian athletics kept up his high standards with a silver medal in the men’s javelin event. And India’s final medal came through 21-year-old Aman Sehrawat, the youngest Indian to medal in an individual event at the Olympics.

In all, India won five bronze medals and a silver to take back home from Paris.
