As many as 11 days are left for the start of the much-awaited 2024 Paris Olympics. The 33rd edition of the Summer Olympic Games is set to be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11 this year. Paris Olympics 2024 will showcase 32 sports, including the 28 "core" Olympic sports and the addition of breaking, skateboarding, surfing, and sports climbing. After winning 7 medals in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, comprising 1 Gold, 2 Silver, and 4 Bronze Medals, the Indian contingent will definitely be eyeing to improve their medals tally to set up new world records in the Olympic Games history. India's 2024 Paris Olympics campaign will start on July 25 with the individual archery rounds. However, the first medal event will begin on Saturday, July 27, with the 10m air rifle event. Here's India's complete schedule for the Olympic Games.
Paris Olympics 2024: Here's India's complete schedule for the 33rd Summer Olympic Games
Indian athletes are preparing hard to give their best at the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024, scheduled from July 26 to August 11. A total of 113 athletes have qualified to participate in 14 sporting events at the quadrennial multi-sport event in Paris, with 66 men and 47 women. Indian athletes are determined to reach the podium and win medals in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Team India will also strive to improve its current record of achievements and establish new milestones in Indian sporting history. If the Indian athletes make it to the podium, they will receive medals and recognition. However, the Indian athletes' Olympics perks are themselves a massive motivation for the Indian contingent right now.
1. PV Sindhu and Sharath Kamal to carry the Indian flag
PV Sindhu and Sharath Kamal are the Indian flag bearers during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. PV Sindhu will lead a seven-member Indian badminton team at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Sindhu will be the only shuttler in the women's singles category, finishing 12th in the Race to Paris Rankings. Meanwhile, Achanta Sharath Kamal, who is set for his fifth Olympic appearance in Paris, feels he is scaling new heights with each passing year and believes his "best is yet to come."
2. Defending Javelin throw Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra chases second gold medal
Javelin superstar Neeraj Chopra aims to make history as the first Indian athlete to win consecutive gold medals. Chopra's most recent competition was at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland on June 18, where he secured the gold medal with a best throw of 85.97m. This week's Paris Diamond League is not on his competition calendar, so the next time he takes the field will be at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Talking about the latest Olympics news, Neeraj emphasized that he wasn't seriously injured and had withdrawn from the recent events as a precaution to avoid any risks in an Olympic year. However, it is a massive relief for Indian fans that Neeraj Chopra is recovering well and is all set to take the Indian Javelin forward.
