India, even after winning five medals at Paris Olympics, trails Pakistan in the overall medal standings, and people are finding it hard to cover their heads around it. Pakistan, with just one medal at the Games this year, ranked 53rd, while India ranked 63rd. This surprising outcome has aroused widespread discussion and confusion on social media, with many announcing it as the black day in Indian sports history. Some even called it India’s worst Olympics performance so far. However, what they are missing is the Olympic ranking system, which priorities gold medals over silver and bronze. Pakistan’s solitary gold medal, differentiates the India’s five medals, has moved it ten spots higher in the rankings.
