India won a total of 6 medals at the 2012 London Olympic Games — its best Olympic performance up to that point. These comprised 2 silver medals (Sushil Kumar in wrestling and Vijay Kumar in shooting) and 4 bronze medals (Saina Nehwal in badminton, Mary Kom in boxing, Yogeshwar Dutt in wrestling, and Gagan Narang in shooting). The total of 2 + 4 gives 6 medals.
