Mahanu🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.
Medal ledger
The spine of the whole project: every Olympic medal India has won, by Games and sport. Build it once, accurately, and every other page (sport strengths, athlete watchlists, system analysis) reads off it. Fill from the official record — the anchors below are the famous landmarks, not the full list.
Landmark medals (verify and complete)
| Year | Games | Sport | Athlete / team | Medal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1928–1980 | Summer | Field hockey (men) | India | 🥇 ×8 golds — the golden era |
| 1952 | Helsinki | Wrestling | K. D. Jadhav | 🥉 (first individual medal) |
| 2008 | Beijing | Shooting (10m air rifle) | Abhinav Bindra | 🥇 (first individual gold) |
| 2020 | Tokyo | Athletics (javelin) | Neeraj Chopra | 🥇 |
(These are anchors. Complete the ledger Games-by-Games from the official Oledb/IOC record — including every silver and bronze, and the individual medallists of the 2000s–2020s who turned India from a hockey story into a multi-sport one.)
How to read it once it's full
- By sport: which disciplines actually deliver (shooting, wrestling, badminton, athletics, weightlifting, boxing, hockey) vs. where India has never medalled.
- By decade: the shift from a single-team hockey story to a spread of individual medals.
- Medals per Games: the honest trend line — is the count really rising, and in what?
