Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.

With 252,530 views on Thursday, 5 August 2021 our article of the day is India at the Olympics.

India first participated at the Olympic Games in 1900, with a lone athlete (Norman Pritchard) winning two medals – both silver – in athletics and became the first Asian nation to win an Olympic medal. The nation first sent a team to the Summer Olympic Games in 1920 and has participated in every Summer Games since then. India has also competed at several Winter Olympic Games beginning in 1964.

Indian athletes have won 33 medals, all at the Summer Games. For a period of time, India national field hockey team was dominant in Olympic competition, winning eleven medals in twelve Olympics between 1928 and 1980. The run included 8 gold medals in total and six successive gold medals from 1928–1956.
