1. Who secured his first Olympic gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics in men's singles tennis?
Novak Djokovic, a tennis legend from Serbia, clinched his first Olympic gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics. He defeated Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the men's singles final, held at Roland Garros. This victory is particularly significant as it not only marks his first Olympic gold in his fifth appearance but also adds to his collection of 24 Grand Slam singles titles. Furthermore, Djokovic's win enabled him to join an elite group of players who have achieved the Career Golden Slam, and at 37, he became the oldest man to win singles gold since tennis rejoined the Olympics in 1988.
