Let’s check out where India could do well and where they might have trouble at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
India wants to get more than seven medals, which is what they got in Tokyo 2020. In Tokyo, India won medals in wrestling (2) badminton (1) weightlifting (1) boxing (1), men’s hockey (1), and Neeraj Chopra got a big gold in javelin. As they go to Paris, India is good at these sports and might surprise people in
other events too.
Neeraj Chopra: India’s Best Shot at Gold
After winning gold in Tokyo, Neeraj Chopra has kept up his great performance. His 11 best throws have all happened since the Tokyo Olympics, with his top throw just missing 90m by 0.06m. He’s likely to grab another medal maybe even gold, in Paris.
New Faces in Badminton
While PV Sindhu tries to get her third Olympic medal, India’s best shot might be with the men’s doubles team of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. They hit the top spot in world rankings and are now ranked third as they head to Paris 2024.
Tough Challenge in Men’s Hockey
The Indian men’s hockey team grabbed bronze in Tokyo bringing back memories of their old wins. But in Paris, they’ve got a tough job in Pool B going up against Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Belgium, and Argentina. The team’s not been playing well , so getting out of this group won’t be easy.
Shooting Hopes Hang in the Balance
India didn’t get any medals in shooting at Tokyo, which was weird because they do well in this sport. This time, all eyes are on female shooters Sift Kaur Samra and Manu Bhaker, who are thought to be the best shots heading to Paris.
Could There Be a Surprise in Equestrian?
For the first time ever, India’s got someone in equestrian. Anush Agarwalla might be a surprise contender to win a medal in Paris. He grabbed a bronze in individual dressage and helped his team get gold in dressage at the Asian Games in 2022.
