Paris Olympics 2024 Day 1 India Full Schedule: India's shooting contingent will be in focus early on Saturday, when it kicks off Day 1 with the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team. Ramita Jindal-Arjun Babuta and Elavenil Valarivan-Sandeep Singh will carry India's medal hopes in the event, with the medal matches slated to take place later in the day. The top four teams from the qualifiers will head to the medal matches, where teams placed one and two will compete for the gold, while the other two for the bronze. Arjun Singh Cheema, Sarajbot Singh, Manu Bhaker and Rhythm Sangwan will also be in action in the 10m air pistol events, with Day 1 only to stage the qualifiers. Lakshya Sen will take on Kevin Cordon in men's singles group match at Paris Olympics 2024

In Tokyo 2020, India was represented by the largest shooting contingent, comprising 15 athletes. Pistol shooter Saurabh Chaudhary was the only shooter to have qualified for the finals, while rifle shooters produced below-par performances.

Meanwhile, the Indian hockey team will kick off their campaign in Pool B against New Zealand, while in badminton, Lakshya Sen will be in action in men's singles group match, followed by the pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty in men's doubles. And later in the day, the evergreen Rohan Bopanna will begin his final appearance at the Olympics in the men's doubles alongside N Sriram Balaji.
