Paragraph: Paris Olympic 2024
Paris Olympic:2024
Olympic Games, quadrennial athletic festival is often regarded as the world's foremost sports competition. It is the best show on Earth.
The Olympic Games were held for the first time in Athens in Greece in 1896. It was initiated to bring out the athletic talents of people as well as to promote world peace and show that 'unity is strength' by bringing together athletes from different countries. Paris Olympic 2024 was held in France from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Around 10500 athletes from 206 National Olympic Committees participated in this competition.
Both China and United States were tied at the medal table in terms of gold medals, with each getting 40. The United States topped the overall medals table with 126 medals to China's 91 and Great Britain in third with 65. Paris Olympic 2024 featured the debut of breakdancing as an Olympic sport, and was the final Olympic Games held during the IOC presidency of Thomas Bach.
117 athletes from India participated in the competition but only six medals were won (One silver and 5 bronze). To some, India's campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics is a disappointment, but this is India's third-best performance ever at the Games. Six fourth-placed finishes represent the narrow margins of how these Games are perceived. India's Manu Bhaker created history by winning twin medals in shooting events. Vinesh Phogat was dismissed from participating in the final for overweight in the wrestling event.
Next Olympic games will be held in Italy in 2026. We have to wait for it with enthusiasm and hope for the best.
