To play for the country is the ultimate objective for any athlete and to do that on the Olympic stage is a stuff of dreams. India's 117 athletes will get an opportunity to do that at the Paris Games beginning in the French capital on July 26. Vying for that elusive medal, the Indian contingent will hope that the best-ever tally of seven medals for India in a single edition is crossed.
The Tokyo Games held in 2021 turned out to be India's most successful Olympic outing with 1 gold, 2 silver and 4 bronze medals.
