The 2024 Paris Olympics will begin on July 26 with a stunning opening ceremony. Athletes from around the world will participate in 32 sports for a total of 329 gold medals. At the 2015 Paris Olympics, 117 Indian athletes will compete for 95 gold medals across 69 events.
India made history in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with its largest-ever delegation of 124 athletes, breaking previous records. This milestone was followed by the country's most successful Olympic showing to date, with seven medals. The highlight of India's outstanding performance was Neeraj Chopra's gold medal win in the men's javelin throw event, which cemented his place in history.
