The Indian athletes, along with others from around the world, are getting themselves settled in the Olympic Village in Paris ahead of the 2024 Games. The opening ceremony is scheduled to be held on Friday, although archers Deepika Kumari, Ankita Bhakat, Bhajan Kaur, Pravin Jadhav, Tarundeep Rai and Dhiraj Bommadevara will be in action a day before that in the women's and men's individual ranking rounds. India is looking to better the seven medals that it had won at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, which is the most the country has claimed in a single edition of the Games. Here, we take a look at some of the key numbers on the Indian contingent

117 - The number of athletes representing India at the Paris Olympics. It is down to the 124 Indian athletes that travelled to Tokyo for the last Olympics.

95 - The total number of medals that Indian athletes will be competing for

69 - The number of overarching events that Indians will be competing in at the Paris Olympics

61 - The percentage of Indian athletes who will be making their Olympic debut in Paris. As many as 72 Indians will be experiencing the Games for the first time.

44 - The age of the oldest Indian athlete in the contingent. Tennis great Rohan Bopanna is making his third appearance at the Olympics

29 - Athletics is the largest contributor to the Indian contingent in Paris, with 29 athletes set to compete
