Paris Olympics 2024: All Eyes on Neeraj Chopra, PV Sindhu as India Aims for Medal Haul

The Paris Olympics, scheduled from July 26 to August 11, 2024, promise to be a spectacle that will captivate the world. With 329 events across 32 sports, including four new additions, the Games will showcase the pinnacle of athleticism and human achievement.

For the first time in Olympic history, the opening ceremony will not take place in a stadium but will instead begin on the river Seine. An armada of boats will carry over 200 delegations of athletes along the river, through the heart of Paris. This unique spectacle will set the stage for an unforgettable Games.

India will be eagerly watching its athletes, including Neeraj Chopra, PV Sindhu, and the Indian archers and men's hockey team. Chopra, the defending javelin throw champion, will be aiming to retain his title and add to India's medal tally.

In shooting, India has secured quotas in every Olympic category for the first time. Trap shooter Bhowneesh Mendiratta earned the first quota, but Prithviraj Tondaiman was ultimately selected for the team.

Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, the chief medical officer of the Indian contingent, has assured that the athletes are in prime condition for the Games. "All the athletes going for the Olympics are fit right now," he said. "They may have minor niggles, but they are all capable and fit enough to compete."
