Rio Olympics 2016: Full list of India's 120-member contingent

India is set to send its largest ever contingent of 120* athletes for the Olympics 2016 to be held in carnival city of Rio de Janerio, Brazil, from August 5 to 21. Certainly, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) is euphoric about India's chances of improving its medal tally of six at London Olympics in 2012. Though two Indian athletes have courted controversy just before the big games after failing the dope tests conducted by national doping agency, NADA, it shouldn't affect the morale of the entire contingent. The Chef de Mission for the Indian contingent is Rakesh Gupta.
