India's performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics saw a decline from its previous medal tally, finishing with six medals and dropping from 48th to 70th place in the overall standings. Notably, the absence of a gold medal and the narrow misses in various events highlighted the need for a thorough review and strategic overhaul in Indian sports management and athlete preparation.
