Four-time Olympian and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Gagan Narang has been appointed as India’s Chef-De-Mission for the 2024 Paris Olympics. This decision comes after Mary Kom’s resignation from the position due to health issues.
Narang’s elevation from deputy chef-de-mission to the chief role was described by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) as a natural progression following Mary Kom’s departure.
The role of Chef-De-Mission is crucial for the Olympic contingent. Key responsibilities include:
Mary Kom, the boxing legend, resigned from her position as Chef-De-Mission due to health issues. Her departure necessitated the appointment of a new leader for the Indian Olympic team.
Narang’s experience as an elite athlete and his previous involvement as deputy chef-de-mission make him well-suited for this leadership role.
