Nita Ambani’s Vision: India’s Double-Digit Medal Dream and Hosting Aspirations for Paris 2024 Olympics

Certainly! Here’s the revised text: Following the successful performance of Indian athletes at the Tokyo Olympics, Nita Ambani, a sports administrator and IOC member, has expressed confidence in India’s potential to win double-digit medals at the upcoming Paris Olympics. She also mentioned that India’s ambition to host the Olympics is not far off.

Last October, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had declared India’s intention to bid for the 2036 Olympics, emphasizing the government’s commitment to realizing the aspirations of the 1.4 billion people in the country.

Nita Ambani shared her optimism about India’s performance, highlighting that 47% of the athletes representing the country are women.

She expressed her wholehearted support for the young athletes and expressed hope for India to achieve double-digit medal counts for the first time, encouraging them to make the nation proud. The India House, the inaugural national house at the Olympics, had a grand opening attended by notable figures such as BCCI secretary Jay Shah and IOC officials.

Ambani asserted that India’s presence at the Olympics signifies the country’s arrival on the global stage and expressed her belief that India will eventually host the Olympic Games.

The India House will serve as a gathering place to honor and celebrate Indian athletes, showcase the country’s rich heritage and culture, and provide a supportive environment akin to a home away from home for the athletes.

Ambani explained that the idea of establishing the India House stemmed from her experiences at previous Olympics, where she felt that a country as vast as India should have its own dedicated space to exhibit its spirit and support its athletes. Envisioned as a representation of India’s Olympic aspirations, the India House aims to celebrate and recognize the achievements of Indian athletes, fostering a sense of pride and belonging among them.
