Background
India's 1st appearance at the Olympics was at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. India then didn't send athletes again until 1920, but have competed at all the Summer Games after that. As far as the Winter Olympics, India appeared in 1964, 1968, 1988 and 1992, and every Winter Games since 1998. India has won a total of 35 medals, including 10 gold medals. India has been the most dominant in field hockey, winning 12 medals in that sport alone. [1][2]
This is an ongoing project to ensure that all Olympians who represented India are on Wikitree.
- Connected to their family
- Connected to the Global Tree, if possible
- With profiles that have biographical, family, and sporting information
- Well sourced
