Olympics 2025: भारत को कितने Gold Medals की उम्मीद?
Olympics में भारत का performance पिछले कुछ सालों में काफ़ी improve हुआ है। Tokyo 2020 में 1 gold और Paris 2024 में 0 gold के बाद, ab 2025 ke events—jaise Asian Games ya World Championships—mein India se expectations badh gayi hain।
Context: भारत का Olympic History
India ne apna Olympic safar 1900 mein shuru kiya, lekin pehla individual gold Abhinav Bindra ne 2008 Beijing mein jeeta। Uske baad Neeraj Chopra ne Tokyo 2020 mein javelin throw mein gold laakar history banayi। Paris 2024 mein India ne 6 medals (1 silver, 5 bronze) jeete, lekin gold nahi mila—yeh thoda disappointing tha। Ab 2025 ke events—especially Asian Games (Tashkent, Uzbekistan, September 2025)—mein India ko gold ki talash hai। Yeh events Olympics nahi hain, lekin inka performance 2028 LA Olympics ke liye ek indicator hoga।
Neeraj Chopra: सुनहरा भाला
Neeraj India ka sabse bada gold medal hope hai। Paris mein silver (89.45m) ke baad, woh abhi bhi world-class form mein hain। Unka personal best 89.94m hai, aur 2025 Asian Games mein woh 90m mark cross kar sakte hain। Neeraj ka consistency aur big-event temperament unhe gold ka strong contender banata hai। Agar injuries se bache rahe, toh Asian Games mein gold almost pakka hai। Yeh ek gold medal India ke tally mein add kar sakta hai।
Manu Bhaker: निशानेबाज़ की ताक़त
Manu ne Paris 2024 mein 2 bronze (10m air pistol individual aur mixed team) jeete, aur woh pehli Indian bani jinhone ek Olympics mein 2 medals laaye। 22 saal ki yeh shooter ab mature ho chuki hai, aur 2025 mein Asian Shooting Championships ya Asian Games mein gold target kar sakti hai। Unki versatility (10m aur 25m pistol) aur mental strength unhe gold ki race mein rakhti hai। Agar Manu apna peak form maintain karti hai, toh ek gold medal shooting mein aa sakta hai।
PV Sindhu: बैडमिंटन की रानी
Sindhu ke paas 2 Olympic medals hain—silver (Rio 2016) aur bronze (Tokyo 2020)। Paris 2024 mein medal nahi mila, lekin woh abhi bhi top-10 mein hai। 2025 Commonwealth Games (location TBD) ya Badminton Asia Championships mein Sindhu gold ke liye challenge kar sakti hai। Unka attacking style aur experience unhe strong banata hai। Agar injuries aur form issues se bachi, toh badminton mein ek gold possible hai। Yeh India ke tally ko boost dega।
Avani Lekhara: पैरा शूटिंग स्टार
Avani ne Tokyo 2020 mein 2 gold aur Paris 2024 mein 1 gold (10m air rifle SH1) jeeta। Woh India ki most successful Paralympian hain। 2025 Para Asian Games mein Avani multiple events mein compete karegi, aur unka precision aur calmness gold ki guarantee hai। China ki shooters se takkar hogi, lekin Avani ka dominance unhe aage rakhta hai। Para shooting se kam se kam ek gold expected hai।
Harmanpreet Singh: हॉकी का हीरो
Harmanpreet Indian men’s hockey team ka captain hai। Tokyo aur Paris mein bronze jeetne ke baad, 2025 Asian Games mein gold unka target hoga। Unka drag-flicking skill aur leadership team ko gold tak le ja sakta hai। Asian level pe India ka hockey dominance strong hai, aur Harmanpreet ke 10+ goals (Paris 2024) wala form gold ki ummeed jagata hai। Yeh team effort se ek gold aa sakta hai।
Other Contenders: और संभावनाएँ
- Aman Sehrawat (Wrestling): Paris 2024 mein bronze jeetne wala yeh 21-year-old wrestler 2025 Asian Wrestling Championships mein gold la sakta hai। Unka agility aur technique unhe strong banata hai।
- Satwiksairaj & Chirag (Badminton): Yeh men’s doubles pair world-class hai। 2025 Commonwealth Games mein gold jeetne ka chance hai, agar consistency bani rahi।
- Mirabai Chanu (Weightlifting): Paris mein 4th place ke baad, Mirabai 2025 Commonwealth Games mein gold ke liye wapas aa sakti hai, agar injuries se recover ho jaye।
- Jyothi Yarraji (Athletics): 100m hurdles mein national record holder Jyothi Asian Games mein surprise gold la sakti hai।
How Many: कितने गोल्ड?

Asian Games ka past record dikhata hai ki India 20+ gold jeet sakta hai, jo 2025 ke liye ek benchmark hai।
Conclusion: निष्कर्ष क्या?
2025 में India ko Olympics nahi, balki Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, aur World Championships jaise events mein gold medals ki ummeed hai। Neeraj, Manu, Avani, Harmanpreet, aur Sindhu se 4-5 gold almost sure lagte hain, aur agar Aman ya Satwik-Chirag jaise players surprise karein, toh 6-7 gold bhi ho sakta hai। Yeh performance 2028 LA Olympics ke liye foundation set karega। India ka sporting future bright hai, lekin consistency, fitness, aur preparation hi gold ka raasta kholegi। Toh aapko kya lagta hai—kitne gold jeetega Bharat?
