India’s Olympic Dreams: Meet the 117 Athletes Competing in Paris 2024
The countdown to the Paris 2024 Olympics has begun, and India is gearing up to make its mark on the world stage. With a total of 117 athletes across 16 sports disciplines, India is set to showcase its sporting prowess to the world.
Athletics is the largest contributor to the Indian contingent, with 29 players representing the country. These athletes have been training tirelessly for years, honing their skills and pushing themselves to the limit to earn a spot on the Olympic team. From sprinters to long-distance runners, India’s athletics team is poised to make a strong showing in Paris.
But athletics is just one part of India’s Olympic story. Indian shooters have also secured a quota in every Olympic shooting category for the first time, a historic achievement for the country. These shooters have been training under some of the best coaches in the world, perfecting their aim and technique to compete at the highest level.
In addition to athletics and shooting, India will also be represented in a range of other sports, including boxing, wrestling, weightlifting, and more. Each athlete has their own unique story, their own journey to the Olympics. Some have overcome incredible odds to get here, while others have been training since childhood to achieve their dream of representing their country on the world stage.
As the athletes prepare to compete in Paris, the entire country is rallying behind them. From fans cheering them on from home to the government providing support and resources, India is united in its support for its Olympic team. And with such a talented and dedicated group of athletes representing the country, there’s no doubt that India will make its mark on the world stage in Paris 2024.
