![IOA releases list for Paris](https://cdn.magzter.com/1549608130/1721259693/articles/ed8AkbrQQ1721269020650/IOA-RELEASES-LIST-FOR-PARIS.jpg)
India will be represented by 117 athletes at this month's Paris Olympics after the sports ministry cleared the final contingent that also features 140 support staff and officials, of which 72 have been approved at cost to the government to meet the requirements of the travelling sportspersons.
The only qualified athlete missing from the list is shotputter Abha Khatua. The Games will run from July 26 to August 11.
Khatua, who made the cut through world rankings quota, has been dropped without any explanation after her name was found missing from the Athletics' list of World Olympic participants a few days ago.
There is no word yet on whether her name has been knocked off owing to injury, a doping violation or any other technical issue.
The rest of the contingent that has been cleared is on expected lines with London Olympics bronze medal-winning former shooter Gagan Narang as chef-demission. Narang is also a vice president in the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).
