India will begin their campaign in track in field from Thursday, August 1 as athletics action gets underway in the Paris Olympics 2024. Neeraj Chopra will be leading India’s hope of winning a Gold medal on the field while Avinash Sable will be hoping to make a mark with another personal best show.
Neeraj Chopra’s triumph at the Tokyo Olympics has given the Indian contingent a lot of belief. At the Paris Games, Indian athletes will be looking to fight for places in the finals. While Murali Sreeshankar, a silver medalist from Commonwealth Games 2022, withdrew due to an injury, India have a lot of quality in its ranks for the track and field events.

India will be represented by a 29-strong contingent at the Games. 11 of them will be taking part in relay events at the Games. Parul Chaudhary, who won the Asian Games Gold in 5000m and a Silver in the women’s 3000m steeplechase event, will be the only athlete competing in two events in Paris.
For the first time, India will have two representatives in the men’s javelin event when Neeraj Chopra and Kishore Jena will take the field in the qualification round on August 6.
Jeswin Aldrin, who achieved a personal best of 8.42m in Bellary last year, will be in medal contention if he manages to get closer to that mark. However, Jeswin’s season best has been 7.99 which came in May.
Women’s 100m hurdler Jyoti Yarraji, who won silver at the Asian Games last year, will also be in focus as India look to have a memorable time on the track and field in Paris. The relay teams will also be looking to make a wave while experienced shot putter Tajinder Pal Singh Toor and javelin thrower Annu Rani will be in focus.
