History

Before independence

Indian field hockey team that won the gold medal at 1928 Olympics

India made its first appearance at the 1900 Summer Olympics as part of British India (1858-1947), becoming the first Asian nation to participate in the Olympic Games. ^[1] A lone athlete Norman Pritchard represented the country and won two silver medals in athletics. ^[2] India was classified 19th in the overall medal table, which represents its best placement till date. ^[3] India did not compete in the next three Summer Olympic Games. ^[4] At the behest of then Governor of Bombay George Lloyd, Indian businessman Dorabji Tata secured representation for British India at the International Olympic Committee, enabling it to independently participate in the 1920 Summer Olympics. India sent a contingent of six competitors including four athletes and two wrestlers with two support staff. ^{[5] [6] [7]} The Indian Olympic movement was then established during the 1920s. ^[8] In 1923, a provisional All India Olympic Committee was formed, and in February 1924, the All India Olympic Games (later National Games of India) were held to select a team for the 1924 Summer Olympics at Paris. The Indian delegation at the Paris Olympics consisted of 14 competitors including eight in athletics and four in tennis, led by team manager Harry Buck. ^{[9] [10]}

Indian hockey team at 1936 Berlin Olympics

In 1927, the provisional Indian Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee and formally became the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). ^[11] The organization was formed to promote the development of sports in India, host the national games, and select teams for the Olympics. ^[12] For the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, it selected eight competitors, which included seven in athletics and one swimmer. ^[13] The Indian Hockey Federation, which had been established earlier in 1925, sent the men's team to the 1928 Games. The hockey team won India's first gold medal in the Olympics at Amsterdam. ^[14] This was the first gold medal won by any nation from Asia at the modern Olympic Games. ^{[15] [16]} For the 1932 Games, the Indian contingent consisted of the field hockey team and five athletes. ^[17] For the subsequent 1936 Games, India sent a contingent consisting of the field hockey team and eight athletes, who competed in four sports. ^[18] The only medals in the last two Games came from the Indian field hockey team, which won three consecutive gold medals from 1928 to 1936. ^[19] The victory run included the largest victory margin in Olympics history after India defeated United States 24–1 in 1932 and the largest margin of victory in an Olympic final during the 8–1 defeat of Germany in the final in 1936. ^{[20] [21]}

After independence

Indian field hockey team that won the first gold medal after independence at the 1948 London Olympics

India gained its independence in 1947, it sent its first contingent as a independent country for the 1948 Summer Olympics held at London. The Indian contingent consisted of 79 athletes, who competed across ten sports and included country's first participation in arts, boxing, cycling, football, and water polo events. ^[22] The Indian field hockey team won the lone medal, a gold, which was the first medal for India as an independent nation. ^[23] The 1952 Summer Olympics marked the first time India sent women competitors to the Games. ^[24] The Indian contingent consisted of 64 competitors including four women with first time participants in gymnastics and shooting events. ^[25] Wrestler K. D. Jadhav won a bronze medal, the first individual medal for independent India. ^[26] India sent a contingent of 59 competitors for the 1956 Games at Melbourne and the only medal came from the Indian field hockey team, which won a then record sixth straight gold medal in a single event at the Games. ^{[19] [27]} The Indian contingent consisted of 45 competitors for the next Summer Olympics at Rome. ^[28] The country won a single silver medal from field hockey after the team lost in the final, which was its first loss in the Olympic Games since the 1928. ^[29]

India made its Winter Olympics debut at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck with Jeremy Bujakowski competing in the men's downhill event in alpine skiing. ^{[a] [37] [38] [39]} In the subsequent Summer Olympics held in Tokyo in the same year, India sent a contingent of 53 competitors including two participants for the diving event for the first time. ^[40] The men's field hockey team won the gold medal, for the country's only medal at the Games. ^[41]

Leander Paes won a bronze medal in 1996 for India's first Olympic medal in nearly 16 years.

In the 1968 Winter Olympics held in Grenoble, Bujakowski was again the only participant representing India. ^[42] India sent its smallest delegation since independence, consisting of 25 athletes to the 1968 Summer Olympics at Mexico City. ^[43] India did not participate in the four subsequent Winter Olympic Games from 1972 to 1984. ^[42] In the 1972 Summer Olympics at Munich, 41 Indian athletes competed across seven sports including two competitors in the badminton for the first time. ^[44] The only medals in the previous two Summer Olympics were the bronze medals won by the men's field hockey team. ^{[45] [46]} In 1976 Summer Olympics at Montreal, India entered 26 athletes, but failed to win a medal for the first time since 1924. ^{[47] [48]}

The Indian delegation for the 1980 Summer Olympics at Moscow consisted of 76 competitors, the second largest since independence with first time participants in the equestrian event. ^[49] The only medal again came from the men's hockey team which won their record extending eighth Olympic gold in a single event. ^[50] This was also the last time the Indian field hockey team won the gold medal at the Olympics. ^[51] India sent 48, 46 and 52 athletes to the subsequent three Summer Olympics in 1984, 1988, and 1992 respectively, but failed to win a single medal across the three Olympic Games. ^{[52] [53] [54]} In between, India returned to compete in the 1988 Winter Olympics after a gap of nearly 20 years. The Indian contingent consisted of three athletes including the first women participant Shailaja Kumar. ^[42] The country entered two athletes to the 1992 Winter Olympics before missing the subsequent 1994 Winter Olympics. ^[42] India entered 49 competitors across 13 events at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. ^[55] Tennis player Leander Paes won a bronze medal in the men's singles event for the country's first Olympic medal in nearly 16 years and became the first Indian individual medalist since 1952. ^[56] India's lone participant in the subsequent 1998 Winter Olympics was Shiva Keshavan, who would become the Indian with most appearances in the Olympic Games after his sixth appearance in 2018. ^{[42] [57]}

Notes

1. The first medals for alpinism were awarded at closing ceremony of the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix, to the members of the unsuccessful 1922 British Mount Everest expedition led by Charles Granville Bruce. ^{[30] [31]} The medals were awarded to 21 people: the thirteen British expedition members, seven Indian Sherpas who died during the ascent and one Nepalese soldier. ^{[32] [33] [34] [35]} As the medal was awarded to a team comprising of people from various nationalities, the International Olympic Committee recognizes it as a medal awarded to the mixed team rather than any individual nation. ^[36]
2. Three India athletes qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics but Shiva Keshavan participated as an Independent Olympic Participant due to the ongoing suspension of Indian Olympic Association at the time. ^{[116] [117]} The suspension was revoked during the course of Games, which enabled the other two athletes to compete under the Indian flag. ^{[118] [119]}
