Norman Pritchard-silver in track and field-Paris 1900
First gold medal: the hockey team, Amsterdam, 1928
In post-colonial times, the 1-st medal was the gold won by the hockey team in Helsinki, 1952.
In post-colonial times, the only medal won other than in hockey was a bronze in freestyle wrestling, but off the top of my head I cannot tell you who it was and were, plus the bronze medal of Leander Paes in tennis.
P.T. Usha was close to winning a medal in the women's 100 m hurdles in Los Angeles'84 which would've made her the first Indian woman Olympic medallist, but ended up 5-th.
However, India won a lot more golds in hockey than a lot of other countries in all disciplines taken together...

India is a brilliant us of a! i in my view desire they might gain their steel targets! I asked my associates in China. they rather want the metals to be shared with the aid of as many international locations as a threat, no longer purely between the dominant gamers like US, Russia, German and China.
