Paris Olympics 2024 Indian Athletics Squad: Complete list of track and field athletes in the Indian contingent ft. Neeraj Chopra and Jyothi Yarraji

The Indian athletics team, consisting of 29 track and field athletes (including two reserves), is all set to feature at the Paris Olympics 2024. The athletics events at the Summer Olympics 2024 in Paris will commence on August 1 and will run until the last date of the Games, i.e. August 11.

The athletics events will be held across four venues in Paris, namely, Pont d'Iena for race walking, Hotel de Ville and Les Invalides for the start and end points of the marathon, and Stade de France for the track and field events.

The Indian athletics team will be led by the very own ‘Golden Boy’ Neeraj Chopra, who secured a gold medal in javelin throw at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to bring India’s first-ever gold in track and field at the Olympics. He’ll be aiming to defend his title in Paris.

Meanwhile, India has some promising athletes in the lineup who can make a statement on the world’s grandest stage. However, one name missing from the list is shot putter Abha Khatua. She was initially named in the 30-member Indian athletics contingent by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) but wasn’t featured in the Olympics’ official list of athletes and subsequently in the final list by the Indian Olympic Association.
