Since India began participating in the Olympics in 1900, it has only managed to pocket twenty-eight medals. The number is surprisingly low considering its participation in twenty-eight games. Norman Pritchard went on to be the first Indian to win two silver medals in athletics in the 1900 games. India’s Olympic performance has been consistent in Hockey, Shooting and Wrestling, where it has won most medals. Hockey has won India the most numbers of medals, securing eight gold medals between 1928 and 1960.
