HOCKEY is the only game in which India has won the gold medal. till now we have won 8 gold medals in hockey.

In the 2008 Games in Beijing, Abhinav Bindra became the first Indian to win gold in an individual event when he won the men's 10 meter air rifle competition. This was India's 9th gold medal in Olympic competition.

The first individual gold medalist in Indian Olympic history occurred during the 2008 Games in Beijing when Abhinav Bindra won the men's 10 meter air rifle competition. Prior to his gold, all gold medals won by India in the Olympics were by the hockey team.
