Meanwhile, the 14th-ranked player in the world of badminton, Lakshya Sen, who is scheduled to compete in the men’s badminton tournament in Paris, will undergo training at the Halle des Sports Parsemain in Marseille, France, with his coach and support team from July 8 to 21 in preparation for the Olympic Games.
Both PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen have clinched India’s spots for the Paris 2024 Olympics based on the Race to Paris Ranking List released by the BWF at the end of last month.
National Olympic Committees have the exclusive privilege to represent their respective nations at the Olympic Games, and the participation of athletes in the Paris Games is contingent upon their NOC’s selection to represent the team at Paris 2024.
In regard to badminton at the Olympics, the NOCs must confirm their intention to utilize the allocated spots by May 24.
Sen, who is the reigning Commonwealth Games champion, will be making his debut at the Olympics in Paris. He faced difficulties with his performance in 2023 but managed to reach the semi-finals of both the All England Open and the French Open earlier this year.
The MOC has also given the green light to the procurement requests of table tennis players Sreeja Akula and Tisha Punia for equipment, as well as the assistance requests of golfer Aditi Ashok and swimmer Aryan Nehra for support in attending various competitions.
Furthermore, the MOC has sanctioned the inclusion of table tennis player Harmeet Desai and the women’s 4×400 relay team into the primary squad of the Target Olympic Podium Scheme, and the elevation of wrestlers Nisha (68kg) and Reetika (76kg) to the top-level TOPS team.
Promising golfer Kartik Singh has also been enlisted in the TOPS development squad with a focus on the upcoming Olympics in Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032.
