India hopes to win more medals in Paris Olympics
Talking about the 33rd Summer Olympics, for the first time the Parade of Nations is being organized in the river instead of the stadium, while for the first time the athletes will participate in the parade through boats. This time a team of 117 athletes is participating from India, most of whom are among the contenders for winning medals.
The biggest name in this is Neeraj Chopra, who participated in the Javelin Throw event, who won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics and everyone is expecting the same performance from him this time too. Paris Olympics is starting today from 26th July, but India’s campaign had started from 25th July itself.
