India at The Olympics, Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award
Dear Readers, Today is the first Saturday of the month and so I will write about current events in India. I will discuss the following: India's performance at the Olympics, changing the name of the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award to the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. 1) The Olympics: Today is the 7th of August 2021, the penultimate day of the 2020 Olympics. Therefore I will discuss India's performance in the Olympics this year as it is unlikely that there will be anymore great changes to the medal tally. India has won 7 medals in these Olympic Games. This is the highest medal tally ever for India in the Olympics. The previous highest tally was in 2012 when India won 7 medals. These are the medals won by India: Gold - India won 1 Gold Medal. Neeraj Chopra won the Gold in the final of the Men's Javelin Throw. Silver - India won 2 Silver Medals. Mirabai Chanu won the Silver in Women's Weight Lifting. Ravi Kumar Dahiya won the Silver in Men's 57kg Wrestling
