The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Wednesday confirmed 117 athletes, including seven reserves, to be part of India’s contingent for the Paris Olympics, slated to begin on July 26.
The sports ministry has cleared the final contingent that also features 140 support staff and officials. Shot put national women’s record holder, Abha Khatua, is the surprise exclusion from the list. While Khatua had previously made the cut for the Games through world rankings quota, her name has been dropped from the official participants list published by World Athletics.
Athletics will form the biggest group in the contingent with 29 names (11 women and 18 men), followed by shooting (21) and hockey (19). Eight players will represent the country in Table tennis while two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu will be part of a seven-member badminton group.
Wrestling, archery, and boxing will have six representatives each. They are followed by golf (4), tennis (3), swimming (2), sailing (2), and one each for equestrian, judo, rowing and weightlifting.
