India Faces Challenges at Paris Olympics 2024

At the Paris Olympics 2024, India's Parul Chaudhary concluded her campaign after failing to qualify for the finals in the women's 3000m steeplechase, finishing eighth in her heat. Similarly, star shooter Manu Bhaker missed out on a medal in the 25m pistol event, finishing fourth, and archer Deepika Kumari was defeated, marking India's archery exit. Despite these setbacks, India's progress in sports is evident, with new athletes like Lakshya, Dhiraj, and Ankita emerging as promising talents. The Paris 2024 Games have introduced several innovative elements, including breaking as a new sport and mixed events to promote gender equality. The Games are also focusing on socio-economic impacts, aiming to support small businesses and promote social enterprises.
