India has so far won 10 gold medals in its Olympic history. With the 2024 Paris Olympic Games just a few days away, ET Sport looks back at each of those golden moments. 1928 First-ever gold It was in Amsterdam 1928 where India’s three-decade long reign over the world of hockey began. The Indians won their first ever Olympic gold in hockey by beating Holland 6-0. Dhyan Chand scored 14 of India’s 29 goals at Amsterdam. Curiously, Great Britain did not send their hockey team. Just before the Olympics, Great Britain were drubbed 4–0 by India. It gave birth to a rumour that the ‘colonisers’ were afraid of losing to their ‘colony’ on an international stage. This rumour was so wide-spread that Dhyan Chand referred to it in his recollections, “I reiterate that this is mere hearsay (that England dropped out of the Amsterdam Games fearing the Indians), although we fondly hoped that at least in future Olympics we would have the honour of meeting Great Britain and showing them how good or bad we were. It is my regret that this hope was never realized so long as I participated in Olympic events.”

Mike Conley spent most of the 1980s ranked among the top triple jumpers in the world. So, heading into the US Olympic trials in ’88, there was very little thought given to the idea he wouldn’t finish in the top three and make the trip to Seoul.

It was a pair of baggy shorts, the likes of which he had never worn in a track meet before, that did him in. Conley recalls video replays that showed the breeze that was kicked up by the vented flaps on the sides of his shorts created a barely perceptible mark in the sand nearly a foot behind where he landed.

tennis obsession.' 'That's 15, love,' he says with a goofy grin. Tennis and love are the subjects of Luca Guadagnino's brilliant Challengers, which I watched on the big screen earlier this year — and that's the only way to watch it, to respect the kinetic, uninhibited energy of a movie that refuses to play it safe. You can call this a mashup of lush romantic drama, erotic thriller, and sports movie about overvaulting ambition. Any way you choose to see it, it makes something like King Richard — about the early struggles of Venus and Serena Williams and their dad — look even more insipid than it already was.
