India’s sending 30 athletes to the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics to take part in the track and field events.
After marking history at the Tokyo Games, the athletics contingent is taking part with high hopes this time.
India’s golden boy, Neeraj Chopra, will lead the squad.
Again, this time, Neeraj Chopra is the biggest hope for a medal. Along with Neeraj, the eyes will be on steepechase player Avinash Sable and shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor as well. Both of them clinched gold in the Asian Games in 2022.
Venue for Athletics in Paris Olympics
Track and field events will take place at the Stade de France. This is the same venue that hosted a number of major sporting events, including the World Cup, the World Athletics Championships in 2003, the 2007 and 2023 Rugby World Cups, and the Euro 2016 Football Championship.
The race walks are held at Pont d’Iena. The marathon races begin at the Hôtel de Ville (city hall) and end at Les Invalides, with the runners passing through many of the city’s most iconic sites and Olympic venues along the way.
