The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has announced that India will continue the tradition of having two flag bearers for the Paris 2024 Olympics, following the precedent set at Tokyo 2020. This decision aligns with the International Olympic Committee‘s push for gender equality in sports.
PV Sindhu, the badminton ace, has been chosen as the female flag bearer for the Indian contingent.
Sindhu’s appointment recognizes her consistent performance at the highest level and her status as one of India’s most successful Olympians.
Sharath Kamal, the veteran table tennis player, will serve as the male flag bearer.
Kamal’s selection acknowledges his long-standing contribution to Indian table tennis and his role as a senior statesman in Indian sports.
