On Day 1 of the Paris Olympics 2024, India's Manu Bhaker advanced to the final of the women's air pistol event, providing a highlight for the nation. In badminton, Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, along with Lakshya Sen, won their opening matches. Harmeet Desai triumphed in table tennis, defeating Jordan's Abo Yaman Zaid 4-0 in the preliminary round. However, disappointment struck as Indian shooters failed to qualify for the 10m air rifle mixed team final and the men's 10m air pistol event. Boxer Preeti moved forward to the Round of 16 in the women's 54kg category. As of now, India has not secured any medals. The current medal tally is led by Australia with 4 medals (3 Gold, 1 Silver), followed by China with 3 (2 Gold, 1 Bronze), and the United States with 5 (1 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze).
