India head into the Paris Olympics 2024 aiming to better their record tally of seven medals from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Two medals in wrestling, one each in badminton, weightlifting and boxing, a return to silverware in men's hockey and a glorious gold by Neeraj Chopra in javelin, were the events where India shone brightest in Tokyo. Coming into Paris, India remain strong contenders in each of those areas, but may well cause a surprise in a few more events.

India will be vying to create new records in Paris, following on from their best-ever tally of seven at Tokyo 2020. A 117-strong contingent will represent the tricolour in Paris, with the likes of javelin star Neeraj Chopra, badminton stars PV Sindhu, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, and weightlifter Mirabai Chanu among the favourites to bring home a medal.

From track and field to the pools, the Paris Olympics will treat us to a variety of events. NDTV takes a look at the changes to the competition.
India officially have 35 medals in the Olympics. But two of them - their first two medals - are dubious, and carry a lot of doubt around them. 124 years ago, even before the Indian golden era in field hockey, India's first two Olympic medals were won by athlete Norman Pritchard, who lived in Kolkata (then known as Calcutta). But in a period when the British ruled in India, and having his own origins from Britain, several doubts remain over whether Norman Pritchard's Olympic medals actually belong to India.
