Tokyo Olympics 2020 proved to be the best Olympics for India with our contingent winning the highest number of medals than ever before. But more importantly, this time the Indian contingent received far greater attention and support from their countrymen. Everyone sat back with their hopes high and our players did not let us down. They brought home 7 medals – one gold, two silver, and four bronze.
