Excitement builds as the Paris Olympics, the crown jewel of the 2024 sporting calendar, approaches in just a few days. This prestigious quadrennial event brings together the world's best athletes, and India is sending a strong contingent of 117 athletes, as announced by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) on Wednesday, July 17th. Building on their historic performance at the previous Games where they secured a record-breaking 7 medals, India sets its sights on achieving a double-digit medal haul this time around. Leading the charge are some of India's brightest sporting stars, including Neeraj Chopra, Nikhat Zareen, and Sift Kaur Samra. Stay tuned! The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has also released a comprehensive schedule for India's participation in the Games, broken down by sport and date for easy reference.
The India's campaign kicks off a day before the dazzling Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony. On July 25th, our archers, both men and women, will be the first to take aim in their ranking rounds. After a day of strategic planning, India's badminton, boxing, hockey, rowing, shooting, table tennis, and tennis teams will hit the ground running on Saturday, July 27th. The Indian quest for glory culminates with the final rounds of the women's wrestling events, where our athletes will battle for a place on the podium.
