India's two mixed pairs face a tough challenge as they compete against a formidable field of 28 teams. The reigning champions, China's Du Lingshu and Han Jiayu, will be looking to defend their title.
The United States, represented by Tokyo silver medalist Mary Carolynn Tucker and her new partner Ryan Kissell, and the host nation France, with Manon Herbulot and Romain Aufrere, are also expected to be strong contenders.
Speaking ahead of D-day, Dr. Pierre Beauchamp, High Performance Director of the team said, “The team is in a good space and have been training and preparing hard. I don’t see any reason why we should not have a bright start to the Paris Games.”
