The Paris Olympics 2024 is starting today on July 26, and here’s how you can watch Indian athletes live on OTT and TV
Event Dates and Highlights
An event is here to grab the attention of people all over the world. We are talking about the Paris Olympics which will run from July 26 to August 11. Some will go to Paris to see it in person, while others will watch it on TV. There will be 329 events across 32 sports, including four new sports. What will make it more interesting is that it will start on the river Seine which is unique. Over 200 athlete delegations will travel by boat, showing off the beauty of Paris in a grand parade.
Indian Athletes to Watch
For India, the focus will be on stars like Neeraj Chopra, PV Sindhu, Indian archers, and the men’s hockey team. Neeraj Chopra, the javelin throw champion from the last Olympics, is a big highlight. India did great in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, winning the most medals it ever has. This year, they hope to win even more. In shooting, India faced tough competition to get spots for the Olympics. Bhowneesh Mendiratta earned India’s first quota in trap shooting at the 2022 ISSF World Championships. Later, Prithviraj Tondaiman was chosen for the final team after national trials. Indian shooters have secured spots in every Olympic shooting category for the first time.
Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, a top sports medicine expert and the chief medical officer for the Indian team, told the media that the athletes are in prime condition for the Paris Olympics. He mentioned that while some athletes might have minor issues, they are all fit and capable of performing their best. “All the athletes going for the Olympics are fit right now. Some athletes will have minor niggles here and there. I am not going to discuss any specific injuries that they’ve had in the past, but all of them who are there are capable and fit enough,” he said.
