Modi believes the just-concluded Paris Olympics is going to be a turning point for India. The 117-member Indian contingent returned with six medals, including one silver and five bronze. The count was one less than Tokyo and there was no gold in the tally this time.

Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya informed the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that the IOA has registered a strong protest with United World Wrestling (UWW) over the incident.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a significant step to support Indian athletes at the Paris Olympics 2024. On Sunday, BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that the board will provide Rs 8.5 crores to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) for the campaign. This financial assistance aims to bolster the preparations and morale of the Indian contingent as they head to Paris for the prestigious global event.

"We will ensure that Vinesh and all our wrestlers receive the necessary support to excel and keep India's flag flying," he said.

Indian boxing legend Mary Kom has stepped down from her role as India’s chef-de-mission for the upcoming Paris Olympics, citing personal reasons.

This assertion follows a series of acts of defiance by the council, including the issuance of termination letters to an official appointed under Usha's tenure.
