Indian athletes in Olympics 2024
India did have a great outing at the last Olympics in Tokyo (2020) wherein 124 athletes won seven medals including that gold medal from Neeraj Chopra in the men’s javelin throw. It turned out to be the best medal haul for India at the Olympics.
Seeing their 2020 performance and an inspirational one at the Asiad, India will be sending more athletes this time around and will be hoping for a record haul. The NOC (National Olympic Committee) of every country have designated authority for their representation at the Olympics, that sees athletes’ participation solely depend on the country’s NOC.
