Olympics 2024: Neeraj Chopra saving grace for India in athletics at Paris

India Today  

Expectations were high from India in athletics, since they had sent a contingent of 29 members, their highest ever in the history of the Olympics. He had also joined Abhinav Bindra as one of the two athletes from India to win an individual gold medal at the Olympics. Post independence, India are still looking for their second medallist in athletics apart from Neeraj. They have to wait for four years when the Los Angeles Olympics takes place to determine if India can broaden their horizons in athletics. Back in the Tokyo Olympics, India had a smaller contingent, 16 in track and field events and two relay teams.
