India's participation in athletics at the Paris 2024 Olympics is particularly noteworthy, with a strong lineup of athletes competing in various track and field events.
The country's sports authorities have placed a significant emphasis on athletics, investing in comprehensive training and development projects. This strategic focus aims to build on the successes of past games and improve India's medal tally in this discipline.
Neeraj Chopra will be in action during the men's javelin throw, with the qualifiers scheduled for August 6 and finals taking place two days later. He is the defending champion in the men's javelin throw.
Notably, India's medal tally reached two on Tuesday.
India's shooting ace Manu Bhaker made history on Tuesday when she became the first Indian to win two medals at the same Olympics.
Bhaker and her partner Sarabjot Singh secured bronze in the 10 M Air Pistol Mixed Team event.
