Paris Olympics 2024: Odisha among lowest, Haryana highest; check state-wise distribution of 117 athletes

A total of 117-member strong Indian contingent has reached France to participate at the 2024 Paris Olympics and start their quest for the coveted medals.

Among all the States in India, Haryana has the highest number of 24 athletes participating in the marquee event. Haryana is followed by Punjab with a total of 19 athletes. However, Odisha is among the lowest number of athletes participating in the sports extravaganza. Only two athletes from Odisha will compete for the top honours. They are Amit Rohidas in men’s hockey and Kishore Jena in men’s javelin throw.

Among other States, while Tamil Nadu has sent 13 athletes, Uttar Pradesh has seven athletes. Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra have sent seven, six and five athletes respectively. Delhi, Telangana and Uttarakhand have sent four athletes each. While as many as three athletes from West Bengal will participate in the marquee event, Odisha, Rajasthan, Manipur, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Chandigarh have sent two athletes each. One athlete each from Assam, Bihar, Goa and Jharkhand will vie for the top honours in the mega event.

India had returned with as many as seven medals in the last Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 2021. Neeraj Chopra’s gold medal in men’s javelin throw was arguably being the highlight. While Neeraj is a strong contender to repeat his feat of Tokyo Games in Paris, there are big expectations from some other athletes including PV Sindhu, Lovlina Borgohain, Achanta Sharath Kamal and Manu Bhaker.
