2024 Paris Olympics in pictures | Joy, heartbreak and much more as emotions run high

Paris Olympics, an emotional journey of 17-day-long athleticism

From a mind-boggling disqualification of Vinesh Phogat after her exuberant triumph, to the medal victory of Imane Khelif after a very aggressive gender row, the Paris Olympics 2024 witnessed a smorgasbord of emotions. This Olympics has also been a stage of inclusiveness and harmony. Neeraj Chopra’s mother’s words after the final match in men’s javelin throw, prevailed over boundaries and rivalries. She said, ”...the one who got gold is also our child and the one who got silver is also our child...”

At every Olympics, each medal and every drop of sweat has many stories to tell. Here are some emotions that unravel plenty of such tales.
