India’s campaign in Paris Olympics 2024 has ended. Ritika Hooda was out of the medal race in the 76 kg wrestling freestyle event with the defeat of Kyrgyzstan wrestler Aperi Kaiji in the semi-finals. If the Kyrgyz wrestler had reached the final, Ritika would have had a chance to win bronze through repechage. With Ritika Hooda out of the medal race, India’s journey in the current Olympic Games has come to an end.
India stuck on six in Paris!
India has won a total of six medals in the Paris Olympics. This includes five bronze and one silver. The silver medal came in athletics. India won three bronze medals in shooting, while wrestling and hockey also won one bronze each. However, if the decision in the case of wrestler Vinesh Phogat comes in India’s favour, then the number of medals will definitely increase to seven. Whatever the decision in Vinesh’s case, it has been officially confirmed that India could not win any gold medal in the Paris Olympics. Without gold, India’s campaign will be considered dull.
