While the hockey team is generating excitement, they aren't the first Indian contingent to arrive in Paris.

The six-member Indian archery team, comprising both experienced veterans and eager newcomers, has already received a warm welcome from Chef de Mission Gagan Narang and Deputy Chef de Mission Shiva Keshavan.
