Olympics On My Mind

Hi Guys!!

So like last year, I (Kapil) have made a 2024 sports calendar for Indian Sports. The calendar is primarily for my own personal use but I thought I'll post it as others may also get some use out of it.

Disclaimer - The calendar is based primarily on my own personal interests, so some events might be missing. In general, it includes all top level events where Indians are expected to "reasonably" compete against the world elite. Also, no juniors and no domestic events/leagues.
