Paris Olympics 2024: The Complete List of Qualified Indian Athletes

As the world gears up for the Paris Olympics 2024, India is set to make its mark with a talented contingent of athletes who have qualified for the prestigious event. The Tokyo Olympics saw India create history by sending its largest-ever contingent of 124 athletes and securing seven medals, with Neeraj Chopra clinching a historic gold in the men’s javelin throw. This time around, the focus will be on Neeraj, who will look to defend his title in his event.

In shooting, India witnessed a dramatic turn of events as Trap shooter Bhowneesh Mendiratta secured the country’s first Paris 2024 quota at the 2022 ISSF World Championships. However, Prithviraj Tondaiman was later given the quota in the category instead. India shooters made history by securing a quota in every Olympic shooting category for the first time.

In athletics, race walkers Priyanka Goswami and Akshdeep Singh became the first Indians to qualify for the Paris 2024 events. Four Indian athletes breached the Paris Olympics qualifying standard in the men’s 20km walk, and one made the cut through the world rankings. However, each national federation can only send a maximum of three athletes in the event to Paris, so Akshdeep, Vikash, and Paramjeet Singh received the nod, while Ram Baboo and Suraj Panwar missed out. Priyanka and Akshdeep also secured the quota for India in the mixed relay marathon race walk event, with Suraj partnering Priyanka in Paris.

In women’s 57kg boxing, Parveen Hooda was initially the quota-holder but got suspended for whereabouts failures. Jasmine Lamboria later secured the quota at the Olympic qualifiers in Bangkok in June.

Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, the chief medical officer of the Indian contingent, expressed confidence in the athletes’ fitness levels, stating that all the athletes who have qualified for the Olympics are fit and capable of performing at their best.
