Paris Olympics 2024 is not far away. The mega event will start on July 26, 2024 and will go on till August 11 in Paris. The Games, India are aiming for a better medal haul than the last edition. Neeraj Chopra had made history in Tokyo Olympics  2020, which was held in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic outbreak, winning the gold medal in men's javelin event for the first time. Neeraj was only the second individual gold medallist from India while he was also the first in Track and Field to claim the pole position at the Olympics.

Neeraj will aim for a repeat of the gold when he plays the Olympics 2024. He has already qualified for the Games and not only him, Kishore Jenna has also qualified for the Olympics.

Indian shooters have done exceedingly well to secure a quota in every category for the first time. Don't be surprised if you see more than one medal in shooting in Paris. At the same time, racewalkers Priyanka Goswami and Akshdeep Singh have also qualified in athletics. In fact, they were the first Indians to make the cut in athletics.

It should be noted that in racewalking, each national federation can send only 3 racewalkers to the event. Seven Indians have breached the Paris qualifying standard but only 3 can go. This year, in athletics, hopes will be pinned not just on Neeraj but also on Avinash Sable, who clinched the gold medal in 3000m men's steeplechase event, becoming the first Indian man to do so. In boxing, Amit Panghal, Nikhat Zareen, Tokyo medallist Lovlina Borgohain have all qualified.
