The Tokyo Olympics saw India create history as they sent their largest-ever contingent of 124 athletes and also got their biggest haul in a single edition; seven medals. Tokyo 2020 also Neeraj Chopra clinch a historic gold in men's javelin throw. At Paris Olympics, the focus will once again be on Neeraj, who will look to defend his title in his event.

Trap shooter Bhowneesh Mendiratta grabbed India's first Paris 2024 quota at the 2022 ISSF World Championships, but did make it to the final team after the national trials. Prithviraj Tondaiman was given the quota in the category instead. India shooters secured a quota in every Olympic shooting category for the first time.Meanwhile, race walkers Priyanka Goswami and Akshdeep Singh became the first Indians to qualify for athletics events at Paris 2024. Four Indian athletes breached the Paris Olympics qualifying standard in the men's 20km walk, and one made the cut through the world rankings. But each national federation can only send a maximum of three athletes in the event to Paris, so Akshdeep, Vikash and Paramjeet Singh received the nod, Ram Baboo and Suraj Panwar missed out. Also, Priyanka and Akshdeep got the quota for India in the mixed relay marathon race walk event. But Suraj will partner Priyanka in Paris.In women's 57kg boxing, Parveen Hooda was the original quota-holder, having got the slot at the 2023 Asian Games, but got suspended for whereabouts failures. Jasmine Lamboria got the quota at the Olympic qualifiers in Bangkok in June.Renowned sports medicine expert Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is the chief medical officer of the Indian contingent,also informed the media that athletes are in prime conditions for Paris Olympics. "All the athletes that are going for the Olympics are fit right now. Some athletes will have minor niggles here and there. I am not going to be discussing any specific injuries to any athlete that they've had in the past, but all of them who are there are there because they are going to be capable and they're gonna be fit enough to perform," he said.Here is the complete list of Indian athletes who have qualified for Paris Olympics:Archery-Dhiraj Bommadevara: Men's teamTarundeep Rai: Men's teamPravin Jadhav: Men's teamBhajan Kaur: Women's teamDeepika Kumari: Women's teamAnkita Bhakat: Women's teamAthletics-Akshdeep Singh: Men's 20km race walkVikash Singh: Men's 20km race walkParamjeet Singh Bisht: Men's 20km race walkPriyanka Goswami: Women's 20km race walkAvinash Sable: Men's 3000m steeplechaseParul Chaudhary: Women's 3000m steeplechase, women's 5000m steeplechaseJyothi Yarraji: Women's 100m hurdlesKiran Pahal: Women's 400mTajinderpal Singh Toor: Men's shot putAbha Khatua: Women's shot putNeeraj Chopra: Men's javelin throwKishore Jena: Men's javelin throwAnnu Rani: Women's javelin throwSarvesh Kushare: Men's high jumpPraveen Chithravel: Men's triple jumpAbdulla Aboobacker: Men's triple jumpMuhammed Anas Yahiya, Muhammed Ajmal, Amoj Jacob, Santhosh Tamilarasan and Rajesh Ramesh: Men's 4x400m relayMijo Chaco Kurian: 4x400m relay and 4x400m mixed relayVidhya Ramaraj, Jyothika Sri Dandi, MR Poovamma, Subha Venkatesan and Prachi: Women's 4x400m relayPrachi: 4x400m mixed relayPriyanka Goswami/Suraj Panwar: Race walk mixed marathonBadminton-H.S Prannoy: Men's singlesLakshya Sen: Men's singlesP.V Sindhu: Women's singlesSatwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty: Men's doublesAshwini Ponappa and Tanisha Crasto: Women's doublesBoxing-Nikhat Zareen: Women's 50kgAmit Phangal: Men's 51kg Nishant Dev: Men's 71kg Preeti Pawar: Women's 54kgLovlina Borgohain: Women's 75kgJaismine Lamboria: Women's 57kgEquestrian-Anush Agarwalla: DressageGolf-Subhankar Sharma Men's golfGaganjeet Bhullar Men's golfAditi Ashok Women's golf Diksha Dagar Women's golfHockey-P.R Sreejesh: Men's hockey teamJarmanpreet Singh: Men's hockey teamAmit Rogidas: Men's hockey teamHarmanpreet Singh(c): Men's hockey teamSumit: Men's hockey team Sanjay: Men's hockey teamRajkumar Pal: Men's hockey teamShamsher Singh: Men's hockey teamManpreet Singh: Men's hockey teamHardik Singh: Men's hockey teamVivek Sagar Prasad: Men's hockey teamAbhishek: Men's hockey teamSukhjeet Singh: Men's hockey teamLalit Kumar Upadhyay: Men's hockey teamMandeep Singh: Men's hockey teamGujrant Singh: Men's hockey team Judo-Tulika Mann: Women's 78kgRowing-Balraj Panwar: M1x Sailing-Vishnu Saravanan: Men's one person dinghyNethra Kumanan: Women's one person dinghy Shooting-Prithviraj Tondaiman: Men's trapRajeshwari Kumari: Women's trapShreyasi Singh: Women's trapAnantjeet Singh Naruka: Men's skeetRaiza Dhillon: Women's skeetMaheshwari Chauhan: Women's skeetAnantjeet Singh Naruka/Maheshwari Chauhan: Skeet mixed teamSandeep Singh: Men's 10m air rifleArjun Babuta: Men's 10m air rifleElavenil Valarivan: Women's 10m air rifleRamita Jindal: Women's 10m air rifleSwapnil Kusale: Men's 50m rifle 3 positionAishwary Pratap Singh Tomar: Men's 50m rifle 3 positionSift Kaur Samra: Women's 50m rifle 3 positionsAnjum Moudgil: Women's 50m rifle 3 positionsSandeep Singh/Elavenil Valarivan: 10m air rifle mixed teamArjun Babuta/Ramita Jindal: 10m air rifle mixed teamArjun Cheema: Men's 10m air pistolSarabjot Singh: Men's 10m air pistolManu Bhaker: Women's 10m air pistolRhythm Sangwam: Women's 10m air pistolVijayveer Sidhu: Men's 25m rapid fire pistolAnish Bhanwala: Men's 25m rapid fire pistolManu Bhaker: Women's 25m pistolEsha Singh: Women's 25m pistolSarabjot Singh/Manu Bhakar: 10m air pistol mixed teamArjun Cheema/Rhythm Sangwam: 10m air pistol mixed teamSwimming-Dhinidhi Desinghu: Women's 200m freestyleSrihari Nataraj: Men's 100m backstrokeTable Tennis-Sharath Kamal: Men's singles and men's teamHarmeet Desai: Men's singles and men's teamManav Thakkar: Men's teamManika Batra: Women's singles and women's teamSreeja Akula: Women's singles and women's teamArchana Kamath: Women's teamTennis-Sumit Nagal: Men's singlesRohan Bopanna and Sriram Balaji: Men's doubles Weightlifting-Mirabai Chanu: Women's 49kg Wrestling-Aman Sehrawat: Men's freestyle 57kgVinesh Phogat: Women's 50kgAnshu Malik: Women's 57kgNisha Dahiya: Women's 68kgReetika Hooda: Women's 76kgAntim Phangal: Women's 53kg
