Ahead of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday extended his wishes to the Indian contingent, set to participate in the games. Taking to social media platform X, PM Modi said, "As the Paris Olympics commences, my best wishes to the Indian contingent. Every athlete is India’s pride. May they all shine and embody the true spirit of sportsmanship, inspiring us with their exceptional performances." Meanwhile, the Union Home Minister also extended best wishes to the Indian contingent. He too posted on X and said, "Heartfelt best wishes to the Indian contingent representing our nation in the Paris Olympics 2024. Through your hard work, you have earned the honour of representing our nation. In your talents, the world will see the best of our sporting prowess. Come off with flying colours." The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics will take place after 11 PM IST. This year, India has sent its biggest contingent of 78 members from 12 sports disciplines. Shuttler PV Sindhu and Table Tennis ace Sharath Kamal are the flagbearers and will lead the contingent. It must be noted here, that Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, will be the first to appear in the Parade of Nations. For the first time in history, the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics Games is to be held in a river. Paris's Seine River will host the opening ceremony of the 33rd Summer Games as over 10,000 athletes are set to represent their countries in the historic Parade of Nations.
