After Indian clinched a maiden dual Chess Olympiad gold medals, in both the open and women’s section on Sunday, D. Gukesh, Arjun Eigaisi, Divya Deshmukh win individual gold medals.

World Championship challenger D Gukesh said he didn't think about his personal achievements and was prepared to do "whatever it takes" to steer India to the gold medal at the 2024 Chess Olympiad following near-misses in previous editions.

This victory marks India’s first-ever gold medal in the Chess Olympiad. India’s closest competitor, China, was unable to close the gap, solidifying India’s historic win. Just two years ago, India’s second team had claimed bronze at the Olympiad in Mamallapuram, near Chennai.
