Tokyo, Aug 7: India ended their campaign at Tokyo Olympics 2020 with their best-ever tally of seven medals, including a gold medal on Saturday (August 7). No Indian athlete is going to be in action on August 8.

Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra bagged a gold to become the first-ever track-and-field athlete in over a hundred years for India and made the country proud at the grandest stage.

While star wrestler Bajrang Punia bagged a bronze medal on day 16 of the multi-nation sporting event. Punia will return from Tokyo with a bronze medal on his Olympic debut after outwitting Daulet Niyazbekov in the men's freestyle 65kg play-off and he will be India's flag-bearer at the closing ceremony on Sunday (August 8).

Indian men's hockey captain Manpreet Singh - who led the team to their first podium finish in 41 overs as they clinched a bronze medal - and six-time boxing champion MC Mary Kom were the flag bearers for India in the opening ceremony.

With Bajrang's medal, Indian wrestlers have matched their best performance at the Olympics by earning two podium finishes. Ravi Dahiya had won an inspiring silver medal in the 57kg category. At the 2012 London Games, Sushil Kumar had won a silver and Yogeshwar Dutt returned with a bronze.

Golfer Aditi Ashok came agonisingly close to winning a medal on the final day of action as she finished fourth in the women's category and missed the podium by a whisker.

Neeraj Chopra emerged as the biggest success story for India from Tokyo Olympics as he created history by becoming only the second man from the country to bag an individual gold after Abhinav Bindra. Team India finish Tokyo Olympics with one gold, two silver, and four bronze medals.

The closing ceremony will also transition the Games from Tokyo in 2021 to Paris in 2024.
