Paris 2024 Swimming: India's Swim Sensations: Srihari Nataraj and Dhinidhi Desinghu Gear Up for Paris 2024!
Swimmers Srihari Nataraj and Dhinidhi Desinghu have been selected to represent India at the upcoming Paris Olympics via the Universality Quota, announced the Swimming Federation of India (SFI) on Wednesday.
The SFI had previously mentioned that they were awaiting approval from World Aquatics regarding the selection.
While Srihari qualified for Tokyo Summer Olympics after FINA approved his ‘A’ standard qualification time in men’s 100m backstroke, it would be Dhinidhi’s maiden Olympic venture.
In the men’s category, Srihari was placed at the top of the world Aquatics points table with 849 points, Aryan Nehra narrowly missed the universality spot being just two points behind Srihari after his last qualification attempt in Canada.
14-year-old Dhinidhi, on the other hand, led the women’s table with 749 points.
The last date to qualify for Olympics expired on 23 June.
No Indian swimmer achieved the direct qualification, so SFI claimed the “universality places” for both genders. Srihari will participate in the men’s 100m backstroke and Dhinidhi will take part in the women’s 200m freestyle event.

almost zero chance of winning both the events when you are through via quota not by the set qualifications.
