China was leading 38-36 as the action headed to the final day of Tokyo Olympics but with 3 gold medals, USA piped China in one of the closest races for the Olympic top spot in the history of the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, China did not have any gold medal matches on the final day of Tokyo Olympics 2021.

USA registered its first gold medal on the final day when its women’s basketball team beat Japan in the final. The second gold came from cyclist Jennifer Valente while the decisive podium finish came after the US women’s volleyball team scripted history by winning its first-ever Olympic gold.

USA’s medal tally slipped considerably from the Rio Olympic Games. While they had won 46 gold medals in 30 fewer events in 2016, only 39 came in Tokyo as the country slipped in track events with none of its men winning gold medals – a first in modern Olympic history. Simone Biles’s withdrawals also influenced the medal tally of the USA.

Tokyo Olympics kick started in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic after having been delayed by a year. Until the opening ceremony, which was held on July 23, there were protests against hosting the Games, fearing a rise in Covid-19 cases. However, the authorities were able to manage the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 by putting up strong advisories & restrictions without any major incidents despite a few Games-related cases cropping up.

The Tokyo Olympics 2020 did show that Covid-19 can be kept at bay while hosting major multi-national tournaments.

At least from a sporting perspective, it was worth it as the Tokyo Games offered plenty of heartwarming moments.

The much-anticipated part of the Olympics, the track and field events, much like other events had to be held in front of empty stands but there was plenty of adrenaline-pumping action in athletics.

A record 83 nations reached finals, there were 43 teams on the podium and 23 won gold. There were three world records, 12 Olympic records, 28 area records and 151 national records set.

The United States topped the medal table with 26, including seven golds, but it was a thin time for their usually all-powerful men’s squad, with only their 4x400m relay team winning gold on the track.

But if one moment summed up the spirit of the whole Olympic movement it was probably in the men’s high jump.

Qatar’s Mutaz Barshim and Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi, both of whom have returned from the same career-threatening injury, agreed to share the gold medal and both exploded in joy when officials agreed.

India headed to the Tokyo Games with its biggest-ever medal contingent and finished with their biggest-ever medal tally, winning its first ever Gold medal in an individual athletics Olympic event – Men’s Javelin.

There were disappointments in much-followed sports like shooting and boxing but there were plenty of positives for India. Tokyo Olympics 2020 could be seen as India’s hockey renaissance as both their men and women’s hockey teams reached the semi-finals. In fact, the men’s team ended their 41-year-long wait for an Olympic medal. Not to forget, Aditi Ashok’s fine run in Women’s Golf and some superb performances in rowing and Racewalking.

India started their Tokyo Olympics 2020 campaign with a Silver medal from weightlifter Mirabai Chanu and they ended their campaign with a historic gold medal, their first-ever in track and field when Neeraj Chopra won the Men’s Javelin gold on August 8, 2021.

Neeraj had thrown 86.65m in the qualifying round of Men’s Javelin throw at Tokyo Olympics 2020 and finished first in his group. This has become India’s most successful Olympics so far surpassing the London Olympics 2012. At Tokyo Olympics 2020, India won a total of 7 medals including 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 4 Bronze whereas India won 6 medals in 2012 London Olympics.

After 13 years in the Olympic Games, India has got a gold medal in an event. Earlier in 2008, Beijing Olympic shooter Abhinav Bindra won gold. Bindra won the gold in the 10m air rifle event.

This is India’s 10th gold medal so far in the Olympic Games. India has earlier won 8 gold medals in hockey and 1 gold medal in shooting. In this way, this is only the second individual gold medal for India and the 1st ever Gold medal in an Individual Athletics events in any edition of Olympic games by an Indian athelete.

It has become India’s most successful Olympics. India won 6 medals in London Olympics. India has won 7 medals in Tokyo Olympics 2020. Apart from Neeraj’s gold, Mirabai Chanu has won silver in weightlifting, PV Sindhu has won bronze in badminton and Lovlina Borgohain has won bronze in boxing. Apart from this, the Indian men’s hockey team won bronze and in wrestling, Ravi Dahiya won the silver medal. On the other hand, Bajrang won the bronze medal on Saturday.

Neeraj Chopra has taken training from Germany’s biomechanics expert Klaus Bartonitz to improve his throwing skills. Since then there has been consistency in his performance.

Neeraj Chopra, who works in the Indian Army, has won gold medals in 5 mega sports events before the Tokyo Olympics in his career. He has won gold medals in Asian Games, Commonwealth Games 2018, Asian Championships, South Asian Games and World Junior Championships.

Rio Olympics 2016 silver medalist Sindhu kept India’s maiden Olympic gold medal hopes alive in badminton. She will now face the winner of the second quarterfinal between Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand and Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei. Sindhu is running in excellent form at the moment and it is expected that she will bring gold medal this time.

Reigning world champion Sindhu took advantage of an 11-7 win record against world number five Yamaguchi to win the first game 21-13 in just 23 minutes. In the second game, Yamaguchi tried to make a comeback but the Indian did not allow him to do so and won in 33 minutes to secure a place in the last four. Sindhu also won the silver medal in the Rio Olympics by performing brilliantly.

If PV Sindhu wins the semi-final match, then silver or gold medal is sure, but after losing the semi-final, she will have to fight for the bronze medal. However, a player like PV Sindhu, who has won a silver medal in the Olympics, will now play the semi-finals and finals with all her heart for the smell of gold and bring glory to the country.

India’s medal in boxing seems to be confirmed. Lovlina has reached the semi-finals by winning the quarter-final match of the 69 kg category. After this, at least one medal for Lovlina is sure. If she reaches the final after winning the semi-finals, she will ensure a silver medal for herself and a second medal for India.
