India Schedule Paris Olympics 2024: Although the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics is scheduled to be held on July 26, Indian athletes will be seen in action a day before that. On July 25, Indian archers will be seen aiming in the first round of matches. Apart from former world number-1 Deepika Kumari, 4-time Olympian Tarundeep Rai will also stake claim for the medal. This time too, there are many world-class archers in the Indian team, from whom there is a lot of hope of winning medals. But before Indian archers enter the field in the Paris Olympics, let us know how many Indian archers were able to aim for medals in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
India’s hands were empty in archery
Last time 4 athletes from India had competed in archery, which included 3 men and one woman. Unfortunately, these four experienced athletes could not win medals. The worst thing was that no Indian athlete in archery reached the semi-finals, let alone the finals. Whether it is singles or doubles, India did not get any medal in any of these competitions. Till date, no archer from India has been able to achieve the feat of winning a medal in the Olympics.
Indian archers in action on July 25
Well, Paris Olympics 2024 has brought a new hope and many Indian athletes will be seen in action on 25 July. This time 6 archer athletes from India have qualified for the Olympic Games. India will participate in four different archery events on 25 July. Praveen Jadhav will compete in the men’s singles event, while Deepika Kumari will also compete in the women’s singles event. On the other hand, Indian athletes will also be seen trying to enter the next round in the women’s and men’s team competition.
