Anticipations are running high for India’s performance at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics, with a strategic focus on securing a greater number of athlete qualifications and, notably, augmenting the medal tally, building on the successes achieved at the Tokyo Olympics. Notably, in recent editions of the Summer Olympics, there has been a steady escalation in the representation of Indian athletes, indicating a positive trajectory for the country’s sporting aspirations.
Bhowneesh Mendiratta, the accomplished trap shooter, secured India’s inaugural quota slot at the ISSF world championships, meeting the criteria for the Paris Olympics first. In the race walking category, Priyanka Goswami and Akshdeep Singh were the first Indians to earn qualifications for athletics events at the upcoming Paris 2024 Games.

Below is a comprehensive roster of all Indian athletes who have secured berths for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics thus far:

In disciplines such as shooting and wrestling, quotas are allocated to countries rather than individual athletes. Consequently, the athlete who initially secures the quota can be substituted by another athlete from the same country in the lead-up to the Games.
During the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the Indian contingent boasted 124 athletes, marking the largest delegation India had ever dispatched to the Games. This impressive team performance yielded a remarkable outcome, with India clinching seven medals in total. Notably, this medal tally represented India’s most substantial haul in a single Olympic Games, including the historic gold medal captured by Neeraj Chopra in the men’s javelin throw.
