A total of 117 Indian athletes, including five reserves, are on the hunt for medals and sporting immortality at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which runs from July 26 to August 11.

There will be Indian interest in a total of 69 medal events across 16 sports - archery, athletics, badminton, boxing, equestrian, golf, hockey, judo, rowing, sailing, shooting, shooting, swimming and tennis - at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Neeraj Chopra,’ who created history at Tokyo 2020 by winning gold in men’s javelin throw, is a part of the 29-member Indian athletics contingent to France and will look to contribute to India’s Paris 2024 Olympics medal tally.

Badminton ace PV Sindhu,’ weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, boxer Lovlina Borgohain and select members of the Harmanpreet Singh-led Indian men’s hockey team will be the other returning Olympic medallists in the Indian contingent to Paris 2024.

Manu Bhaker won the first medal for India at the Paris 2024 Olympics. She bagged a bronze and became the first Indian woman to win an Olympic shooting medal.

Overall, India has won 36 medals at the Olympics to date. Interestingly, it was Norman Pritchard’s dual silver which opened India’s account in Paris 1900.

KD Jadhav,’ with a wrestling bronze at Helsinki 1952, was the first individual athlete from independent India to get on the Olympic medal winners list. Weightlifter Karnam Malleswari became the first woman to win an Olympic medal at Sydney 2000. –Abhinav Bindra was the only Indian to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event at Beijing 2008 and was the first Indian to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event. He was the only one to do so for over a decade before Neeraj’s javelin triumph at Tokyo 2020.

Men’s hockey, with 12 medals including eight golds, has been the biggest contributor to India’s Olympic medals tally followed by wrestling with seven medals.

India returned with its best-ever haul of seven medals, including one gold, from Tokyo 2020 and will look to better the count at Paris 2024.

So far, India has won one medal, a bronze, at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
