Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
K. D. Jadhav won India's first individual Olympic medal – a bronze in wrestling at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Norman Pritchard won medals for India in 1900 but later it was considered under Great Britain in some records; however Jadhav is officially recognised as the first individual medallist for independent India.
