From KD Jadhav to Neeraj Chopra: India's individual Olympic medallists in images

India has won a total of 35 medals at the Olympics out of which 12 belong to the men's hockey team. Two of the individual medals belong to Norman Pritchard, who according to the records of the International Olympic Committee, had won silver in men's 200m and men's 200m hurdles at the 1900 Olympics while representing India. That topic is up for debate, though, with athletics' international sports federation, World Athletics, listing Pritchard as having competed for Great Britain at the 1900 Olympics. Regardless, the presence of Pritchard in the IOC records makes him the earliest medal winner for India. It was slow moving for the country after that, which just two more individual medallists added for the rest of the 20th century but that has changed since 2000.
