At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will take place from July 26 to August 11, a total of 117 Indian athletes, including five reserves, will compete for the opportunity to win medals and achieve historical significance in the world of sports.
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, there would be a total of 69 medal events over 16 different sports. These included archery, athletics, badminton, boxing, equestrian, golf, hockey, judo, rowing, sailing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, and tennis. Indian athletes will be interested in competing in all of these sports.
In addition to being a member of the 29-person Indian athletics delegation that will travel to France, Neeraj Chopra, who made history at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics by capturing the gold medal in the men's javelin throw, will be looking to contribute to India's medal count at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Other athletes who will be returning to the Olympic Games as part of the Indian delegation to Paris 2024 include the renowned badminton player PV Sindhu, the weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, the boxer Lovlina Borgohain, and a few players of the Indian men's hockey team that will be led by Harmanpreet Singh-led team.
In addition, athletes such as Avinash Sable and Aman Sehrawat, as well as the hockey team, would be anxious to add to India's collection of Olympic medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
At the Olympic Games held in Paris in 2024, Manu Bhaker was the first Indian athlete to win a medal. In addition to becoming the first Indian woman to ever win a shooting medal at the Olympics, she also won a bronze medal. After that, she made history by becoming the first Indian to win two medals at a single Olympic competition. She did this by securing a bronze medal in the mixed team 10m air pistol competition alongside Sarabjot Singh.
At this point in time, India has won a total of 38 medals at the Olympic Games. To add insult to injury, it was Norman Pritchard's dual silver that was responsible for opening India's account in Paris in the year 1900.
KD Jadhav was the first individual athlete from independent India to place on the list of Olympic medal winners. He achieved this feat by winning a bronze medal in wrestling at the Helsinki 1952 Olympics. In Sydney in the year 2000, Karnam Malleswari, a weightlifter, made history by becoming the first woman to win an Olympic medal.
Before Neeraj's victory in the javelin competition in Tokyo 2020, Abhinav Bindra, an Indian rifle shooter, was the first person to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event for more than a decade. Bindra was the first Indian to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event at Beijing 2008.
The men's hockey team has been the most successful contributor to India's Olympic medal record, with a total of 12 medals, including eight gold medals. Wrestling has also been a significant contributor, with seven medals.
After returning from Tokyo 2020 with a record-breaking haul of seven medals, including one gold, India will be looking to take the total to an even higher level at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, India has, up to this point, won a total of six medals, including five bronze and one silver.
