IOA releases complete list of 117 Indian athletes participating at Paris Olympics 2024
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has announced the final list of 117 athletes (including seven reserves) who will represent India at the Paris Olympics 2024. This talented group of athletes will be accompanied by 140 support staff and officials, with 72 of them receiving government funding to ensure they have everything they need to succeed.
Leading the charge is the athletics team, comprising 29 athletes (11 women and 18 men) who will compete in various events. The shooting team follows closely with 21 members, while the hockey team boasts 19 players.
Other sports represented include table tennis (8 athletes), badminton (7 athletes), wrestling (6 athletes), archery (6 athletes), boxing (6 athletes), golf (4 athletes), tennis (3 athletes), swimming (2 athletes), sailing (2 athletes), equestrian (1 athlete), judo (1 athlete), rowing (1 athlete), and weightlifting (1 athlete).
Notably absent from the list is shot putter Abha Khatua, who had secured her qualification through the world rankings quota.
India's performance in the last Olympics in Tokyo was impressive, with a 119-member contingent bringing home a record seven medals. Now, with a nearly similar size of contingent, India will be aiming to reach the double-figure mark in their medal tally at the Paris Olympics 2024.
