India at Paris Olympics 2024
The Indian contingent is set to kick off its campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics on July 25. With 117 athletes competing in 69 medal events across 16 sports, the nation is gearing up for an action-packed Olympics. Following a record medal haul of seven, including a gold, at Tokyo 2022, India aims to surpass this tally at Paris 2024.
India at Olympics 2024: Neeraj Chopra Defending Gold
All eyes will be on Neeraj Chopra, who will be defending his gold medal in the men’s javelin throw, with aspirations of breaching the 90-meter mark for the first time in his career. The javelin qualifiers are scheduled for August 6, with the final taking place two days later.
PV Sindhu and Mirabai Chanu: Medal Hopes
Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu will compete in badminton events from July 27 to August 5. Meanwhile, Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Mirabai Chanu will participate in the women’s 49kg weightlifting event on August 7.
Boxing Prospects
Boxers Nikhat Zareen, a two-time world champion, and Tokyo bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain are strong contenders for individual medals. Their performances will be crucial for India's medal tally.
Archery and Shooting: Early Starts
Archers Deepika Kumari and Tarundeep Rai will be the first Indians to compete in Paris, starting with the individual ranking rounds on July 25.
