Top five youngest athletes at Paris Olympics 2024 ft. Dhinidhi Desinghu

14-year-old swimmer, Dhinidhi Desinghu will be India’s youngest athlete at the 2024 Paris Games.

The 2024 Paris Olympics is set to be a global celebration of sport, bringing together top athletes from around the world. This massive event will feature competitors from 204 countries, all vying for glory across 32 different sports.

Paris, hosting the Olympics for the third time, is planning something special. Instead of the usual stadium setting, the opening ceremony will take place along the famous Seine river, offering a unique showcase of the city’s beauty.

One of the most interesting aspects of these Games is the wide range of ages among the athletes. On one end, we have 11-year-old Zheng Haohao from China, while at the other, 61-year-old Jill Irving from Canada will be competing. This shows that the Olympics truly welcome athletes of all ages, as long as they have the skills and determination to compete at the highest level.

On that note, lets look at the top five youngest athletes participating in the Paris Olympics:
