New Delhi: Paris Olympics is going to start from 26th July this month. More than 100 athletes from India are participating in this great sporting event. Before Paris, India had won a total of 7 medals in Tokyo Olympics. However, this time the number is expected to be more than this, for which preparations are also going on in full swing. However, there is still time for this great sporting event to begin, but before that let us know which Indian player won the first individual gold medal in this sport. The Olympics started in 1896, but an athlete from India participated in this sporting event for the first time in 1900. India officially sent its first team of athletes in 1920, but India did not win a single medal in this Olympics. The situation remained the same in 1924, but in 1928, under the captaincy of the great Major Dhyan Chand, India created history by winning the first gold medal in hockey, but had to wait for 112 years for the individual gold medal.
