At summer games in Rio, India, who sent their biggest contingent ever of 118 athletes, could manage to win only two medals, a bronze by Sakshi Malik in freestyle wrestling and a silver medal by PV Sindhu in Badminton.

The Quint brings you a comparison of Indian track and field athlete records ––between their personal best and the Rio score, to see whether they outdid their previous records, or under-performed at the final stage.
