Paris 2024: Full list of Indian athletes qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics

The Indian contingent for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics will be hoping to put on a better show than what the country managed in the previous edition at Tokyo in 2020 (held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

India won a total of seven medals at the Tokyo Olympics with Neeraj Chopra headlining the medals tally with India’s first athletics gold medal at the quadrennial Games. The seven-medal haul is India’s best in the history of the Olympics.

India will have a strong 113-member presence at the Paris Olympics, the third highest to have ever qualified for the Games. India sent 122 athletes to Tokyo in 2021 and 117 to Rio de Janeiro in 2017.

India’s two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu (who won a silver in 2016 and a bronze in 2020) and Achanta Sharath Kamal will be India’s flag bearers at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Paris Olympics 2024 will commence on July 26 (with some events starting on July 24, two days before the opening ceremony) and will conclude on August 11. More than 200 countries, 206 to be exact, including the Olympic Refugee Team and athletes with neutral flags, will be competing at the Paris Olympics.

The Indian shooters are the ones to look out for having qualified for every Olympic event for the first time. A total of 21 shooters will be in fray and India will look to win a few medals from this discipline.

The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) swapped one quota in women’s pistol event for a trap shooter after Manu Bhaker aced the national trials in both 10m air pistol and 25m air pistol events. This led to freeing up one spot in the shotgun events and Shreyasi Singh took the spot in the women’s trap category.

Murali Sreeshankar is missing out on the Paris Olympics due to an injury while Parveen Hooda was suspended by the NADA for a whereabouts failure. Jaismine Lamboria has taken Parveen’s place in boxing.

In sports like shooting and wrestling, the quotas for the Olympics are won by countries and not by individual athletes. Hence the Indian Olympic Committee sends athletes in shooting and wrestling after selection trials. It is also the reason why Bhowneesh Mendiratta, who won India’s first quota in shooting, is not a part of the team as he did not ace the selection trials. Prithviraj Tondaiman has replaced him in the men’s trap event.

Similarly, Rudranksh Patil couldn’t make it to the final squad after a poor performance in the selection trials. His place is taken by Sandeep Singh.

It is also the reason why NRAI was allowed to swap Manu Bhaker’s position for Shreyasi Singh.

Ram Baboo missed out on a place in the race walking team as each country is only allowed three athletes to participate. Akshdeep Singh, Vikash Singh and Paramjeet Bisht have made the cut.
