India's chess teams made history by winning gold medals at the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest on September 22, 2024. Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the teams for their remarkable achievement, stating it marks "a new chapter in India's sports trajectory." The men's team defeated Slovenia 3.5-0.5, while the women's team achieved an identical victory over Azerbaijan. This is India's first gold in both categories, making it a historic clean sweep. Previously, only China and the Soviet Union had achieved such a feat.
