3. Dipa Karmakar

Apart from the two medals that India won, Dipa Karmakar will be remembered. The 23-year-old gymnast impressed everyone with her showing, to say the least. Karmakar became the 1st Indian gymnast to qualify for an Olympic final. In the final, the Indian had some great company to beat and win a medal, and despite putting in her best effort, finished with a tally of 15. 066, 0.25 behind Giulia Steingruber who won bronze.
