In contrast, India has secured a total of six medals, consisting of five bronze and one silver. Among India’s top contenders, javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra was expected to vie for a gold medal. Unfortunately, Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat faced disappointment as she was disqualified before the final of the women’s 50kg freestyle wrestling event.
On the points table, Pakistan currently holds the 62nd position, while India is placed at 71st. In Olympic rankings, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) typically prioritizes countries based on the number of gold medals won. If multiple nations have the same number of gold medals, the rankings are determined by the number of silver medals, followed by bronze medals, if necessary.
