Expectations are high for India’s performance at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics, with a strategic focus on securing more athletes’ qualifications and, in particular, increasing the number of medals, building on the successes achieved at the Tokyo Olympics. Significantly, recent editions of the Summer Olympics have seen a steady escalation in the representation of Indian athletes, indicating a positive trajectory for the country’s sporting aspirations.

Bhowneesh Mendiratta, a successful trap shooter, secured India’s inaugural quota in the ISSF World Championships, first qualifying for the Paris Olympics. In the race walking category, Priyanka Goswami and Akshdeep Singh were the first Indians to qualify for the athletics events at the upcoming Paris 2024 Games.

Given that National Olympic Committees have the sole authority to determine their countries’ representatives at the Olympic Games, the athletes’ participation in the Paris Games depends on the IOC’s decision to include them in its Paris 2024 delegation.

Below is a comprehensive list of all the Indian athletes who have secured their place in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics so far:

With no.	Indian athlete	Sport	An event	Status

In disciplines such as shooting and wrestling, quotas are allocated to countries rather than individual athletes. Consequently, an athlete who initially secures a quota may be replaced by another athlete from the same country on the eve of the Games.

During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Indian contingent numbered 124 athletes, the largest delegation India has ever sent to the Games. This impressive team performance produced a remarkable result, with India winning a total of seven medals. Notably, this medal tally represented India’s biggest haul in a single Olympic Games, including the historic gold medal won by Neeraj Chopra in the men’s javelin.
