CORE Paris 2024 Olympic Medal Tally

Paris 2024 Olympics is the base sports-current-affairs cluster for 2024 because India finished with six medals: one silver and five bronze. The distribution itself is important: shooting supplied three bronze medals, Neeraj Chopra supplied the only silver in athletics, men's hockey retained a bronze, and wrestling added Aman Sehrawat's bronze. India did not win gold at Paris 2024, so any option claiming one Indian Olympic gold in Paris is wrong. The event also shows why medal tables must be read by sport and event, not only by athlete name. Rajasthan's candidates should connect the national tally with state sports policy because Olympic preparation depends on shooting ranges, athletics tracks, hockey turf, nutrition, physiotherapy and Khelo India pipelines across states.
