Through the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, no Indian woman has won a gold medal at the Olympics. The only Indian woman to win a medal in Olympic competition was Karnam Malleswari who won the bronze medal in Weightlifting in the 69 kg weight class at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney. All of India's gold medals at the Olympics have come in Field Hockey. India has won gold 8 times in Olympic field hockey: 1928, 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964, and 1980.
