Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday expressed confidence that India’s Olympic-bound contingent will make the country proud and live up to the aspirations of 140 crore people. India will be sending close to 120 athletes to Paris with the hope that they will better the Tokyo Games tally of seven medals, which included Neeraj Chopra’s gold in the javelin throw.
“Interacted with our contingent heading to Paris for the Olympics. I am confident our athletes will give their best and make India proud. Their life journeys and success give hope to 140 crore Indians,” the Prime Minister posted on ‘X’ after meeting a large contingent of Paris-bound athletes that included shooters, archers, track and field athletes and support staff.
