New Delhi: India won a total of 6 medals in Paris Olympics 2024, out of which not a single one was gold. Players had started preparing for this great sporting event years ago. Athletes qualified for the Olympics by performing well at the world level in different sports, but despite this, India’s account fell short of one medal from the Tokyo Olympics. After this disappointing performance in the Olympics, many things are coming to the fore. Many players say that they did not get the kind of help from the government that they should have got. This is the reason that their preparation has not been up to the level of the Olympics and that is why they could not win medals.
However, according to the government report, a total of Rs 470 crore was spent on various sports for the preparation of Paris Olympics. A total of 200 members including players and coaching staff were involved in the Paris Olympics. Apart from this, Indian players participated in a total of 16 sports, but despite this, only 6 medals were won.
