Indian Sports Achievements Highlight 2024

The year 2024 was marked by significant sporting events, including the Paris Olympics and the Africa Cup of Nations, where Ivory Coast staged a remarkable comeback to win the AFCON after a tumultuous start. The Olympics saw the United States and China tie for gold medals, while Indian athletes shone with notable performances, including six medals led by shooter Manu Bhaker's historic wins. However, the year also featured controversies, such as Imane Khelif’s Olympic boxing gold amidst gender eligibility debates and Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from wrestling. India also celebrated its first T20 World Cup win since 2007, led by Rohit Sharma, and witnessed the crowning of 18-year-old D Gukesh as the youngest chess world champion. Despite some lows, including India's Test series loss and Phogat's troubles, the sporting landscape in 2024 was vibrant and dynamic. Overall, it was a year of both triumph and controversy in global sports.
