Predicting the exact number of medals a country will win in the Olympics is challenging due to the many variables involved, such as the athletes’ current form, injuries, and the level of competition. However, we can make an educated guess based on recent performances and trends.
India had its best-ever performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, winning a total of 7 medals (1 gold, 2 silver, and 4 bronze). Given the country’s continued investment in sports and the improving performances of its athletes on the international stage, it’s reasonable to expect that India could improve or at least match this performance in Paris 2024.
Based on these factors, a realistic prediction for India’s medal tally at the Paris 2024 Olympics could be around 8-10 medals, with potential for more depending on the performances in key sports such as athletics, wrestling, boxing, shooting, and badminton.
