The Paris Olympics, set to take place from July 26 to August 11, promise to captivate the global audience, with fans either traveling to Paris or tuning in to their televisions. This edition of the Olympics will feature athletes competing in 329 events across 32 sports, with four new sports making their debut. A unique highlight of this year's Games is the opening ceremony, which will break tradition by starting from the river Seine. An armada of boats will carry over 200 delegations of athletes along the river, showcasing the city of Paris in a spectacular fashion.
For India, the spotlight will shine on stars like Neeraj Chopra, PV Sindhu, the Indian archers, and the men's hockey team. Neeraj Chopra, the defending champion in javelin throw, is expected to draw significant attention. In the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, India achieved its highest-ever medal tally in a single edition, and this time, the aim is to surpass that record. In shooting, India witnessed intense competition for the Olympic quotas. Bhowneesh Mendiratta secured India's first Paris 2024 quota in trap shooting at the 2022 ISSF World Championships. However, Prithviraj Tondaiman was eventually selected for the final team following national trials. Impressively, Indian shooters have secured quotas in every Olympic shooting category for the first time.

Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, a renowned sports medicine expert and the chief medical officer of the Indian contingent, assured the media that the athletes are in prime condition for the Paris Olympics. He emphasized that while some athletes might have minor issues, all those selected are fit and capable of performing at their best. "All the athletes going for the Olympics are fit right now. Some athletes will have minor niggles here and there. I am not going to discuss any specific injuries that they've had in the past, but all of them who are there are capable and fit enough,” he stated.
