India's Yogeshwar Dutt wins the 5th medal for India. In an incredible Repechage, Yogeshwar won 3 bouts in a row within 45 minutes to win the Bronze medal for India. Congratulations to Yogeshwar and let's hope we get one more medal in wrestling tomorrow when Sushil's matches started.
Cheers!

India ended with 6 medals in all. There were two silvers one for Vijay Kumar in shooting and one for Sushil Kumar in Wrestling. There were 4 bronzes which went to Saina Nehwal in Badminton, Mary Kom in Women's boxing, Gagan Narang in Shooting and Yogeshwar Dutt in Wrestling.
This happens to be India's best haul at the Olympics!!
Cheers!

Good. I think India is doing slightly better in this Olympics. from the stage of no medals to a few medals. good. If we improve and encourage athletics then we may get more medals. good day.

This is actually India's best Olympics in terms of medals with 5 medals. Before this the three won in Beijing was India's biggest haul. So in that sense we are improving. What is more heartening is that the three sports in which we won medals in Beijing we have won medals again showing that we have a theme going there and not a flash in the pan.
Cheers!
