The 2024 Paris Olympics are set to begin in July and we head into that all-important crunch period where athletes look to get in prime shape, test themselves in competitions and go that extra mile in their quest for Olympic glory. Plenty of Indian athletes have already qualified for the Paris Games and there's still time for others to do so. For example, India's wrestlers can win quotas at the Asian Olympic Qualifiers (beginning April 19), while India's track and field athletes can make the cut [by breaching the entry standard] until June 30. Athletes who don't meet the entry standard can qualify via the world rankings route until July 7. In most sports, the athlete who achieves Olympic qualification is assured a spot at the Games, but in sports such as shooting and wrestling, the quota won belongs to the country and not the athlete. For example: If athlete A wins a wrestling quota in the women's 53kg freestyle, the Wrestling Federation of India will decide whether athlete A goes to the Olympics or if they want to hold a final round of trials to choose the best athlete in that category. With exactly less than 90 days to go for the 2024 Paris Olympics, ESPN takes a look at every single Indian athlete who has qualified for the Paris Games:
