The full Latvian delegation and calendar can be found in the Olympics section of LSM.lv.
This is Part 2 of the guide. Part 1 is available here.
The Paris 2024 Olympics take place July 26 to August 11.
Cycling
Toms Skujiņš - road cycling
Skujiņš will be one of the most experienced Latvian athletes at the Paris Games, and the 33-year-old has proven his ability to take advantage of the opportunities that arise during the race. However, in the group stage, the fact that Toms will be the only Latvian in the race makes his chances against competitors who will be joining forces for their favourites much worse.
Skujiņš will be competing in his third Olympics in his career-best season and is still counting on a chance to finish in the top 10.
The men's group race will take place on August 3.
Anastasija Karbonāri - road cycling
The Italian-born Latvian cyclist finished 39th in the group race at last year's World Championships and is looking to do her best at the Olympics. The 24-year-old will be making her Olympic debut.
Karbonāri is determined not to miss her chance if the opportunity arises to break away from the large group in a bid for a career-best result.
The women's group race will take place on August 4.
Mārtiņš Blūms - Olympic cross mountain biking
For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, Latvia will be represented in Olympic cross-country mountain biking, where Mārtiņš Blūms is closing in on the world elite. Blūms broke a finger in a World Cup race on the summer solstice, but the injury has healed within a month and will not prevent him from performing at his best.
In the run-up to the Paris Games, Blūms trained in the French mountains and competed at the Latvian Championships, where he won convincingly. The results so far in the World Cup show that Blūms could be in the top 10 in Paris. The athlete sees a top-10 finish as an achievable goal if everything goes his way.
Latvia is not a mountain biking superpower, but Blūms' results so far give hope that he could be visible among the competitors at the Paris Games.
Mountain bikers will fight for medals in the Olympic cross-country event on July 29.
Veronika Monika Stūriška and Kristens Krīgers - BMX cycling
Stūriška became U-23 World Champion in May and graduated from high school during the Olympic season, but the 18-year-old is aware that the competition in Paris will be at a new level where she will have to prove herself again.
She is in no hurry to reveal her goals for the Olympics and perhaps hasn't quite figured out what it will be like to compete against more experienced and possibly physically stronger competitors.
Krīgers, 27, is the reigning Latvian champion, but in the men's competition, Latvia's former BMX glory has faded. Krīgers secured his Olympic quota with a result at last year's world championships, where he reached the eighth-finals.
For Stūriška, the Olympics will mark her current place in the BMX elite after brilliant junior years. Krīgers does not set himself specific goals, but hopes for good rides that will also lead to results.
The BMX cycling preliminaries will start on August 1.
Ernests Zēbolds - BMX freestyle
Another unprecedented event in Latvian sport is Ernests Zēbolds' qualification for the Olympic Games in BMX freestyle. Zēbolds also secured his place among the Olympians after the results of the 2023 World Championships, and he became the last of the 12 competitors to compete in Paris.
Like tennis, BMX freestyle has national quotas, so not all of the world's strongest will be competing in Paris in order to have a broader national representation.
The BMX freestylers will start qualification on July 30.
Shooting
Agate Rašmane and Lauris Strautmanis
Last year's bronze medal at the World Championships paved the way for Rašmane to the Olympic Games and secured her hopes for success in Paris, where she will compete in two individual disciplines.
Strautmanis earned silver in the World Cup event at the European Championships in the spring and a silver medal in the non-Olympic discipline at the World Championships last summer. Strautmanis secured his ticket to Paris by his position in the world rankings and, unlike Rašmane, he will only compete in one individual discipline.
With Strautmanis' qualification, Latvia got the opportunity to compete in the mixed team event, where the chances of success might even be higher.
The first preliminary rounds in the men's and women's 10m air pistol events will take place on July 27.
Swimming
Ieva Maļuka and Daniils Bobrovs
Latvian swimmers qualify for the Olympic Games under a universal quota to ensure a broad representation of countries in one of the main sports. Both Latvian athletes will have the opportunity to compete in only one event - the 200m medley for Maļuka and the 200m breaststroke for Daniils Bobrovs.
Both Maļuka and Bobrovs are national record holders in their events, but their best results are 2-3 seconds off the norm, which would have allowed organizers to include their names in the pool of contenders for the Paris Games after qualifying.
The bar for the semi-finals is very high among the world's strongest swimmers - Latvian athletes must first strive for new personal bests.
Bobrovs will compete in the preliminaries on July 30 and Maļuka on August 2.
Diving
Latvia has never been represented in the Olympic Games in diving, but that has changed with the arrival of Džeja Delanija Patrika, who will compete in the 10m high jump. The 22-year-old athlete lives and trains in the USA, where she traces her Latvian roots back to her grandfather who emigrated to the USA during World War II.
Patrika's Olympic ticket was secured by a 21st-place finish at the World Championships, while at the European Championships in June she reached the final, where she finished seventh
Patrika will compete in the preliminaries on August 5.
Equestrian sport
Kristaps Neretnieks with Palladium KJV
Neretnieks gained his first Olympic experience three years ago in Tokyo. His debut was a success, making it to the final and raising the bar for Paris. The first big test together with the young and highly-rated Palladium KJV was in the spring at the prestigious World Cup Finals, where the duo finished 25th.
Equestrian sport is a huge and expensive industry, where winning a place at the Olympic Games is not only a sport but also a significant financial challenge. Latvia's participation in the Olympic equestrian competitions is a significant achievement, but this does not mean that Neretnieks and Palladium KJV have gone to Paris with a sense of accomplishment.
The Latvian duo must aim for a place in the final, where they can go further than the 23rd place achieved at the Tokyo Games.
The hurdles qualification will take place on August 5.
Modern pentathlon
Pāvels Švecovs
After finishing 14th at the Tokyo Olympics, Pāvels Švecovs considered the result as a good foundation stone for his preparations for the Paris Games. He did not achieve higher results in the next Olympic cycle, but the 43rd place in the Olympic rankings gave him the opportunity to compete in Paris.
The modern pentathlon has entered a tumultuous period of change and Paris will be the last Olympics where pentathletes will compete in equestrian events.
Švecovs must aim to at least repeat his Tokyo Games performance, which will be no easy task in a 36-strong field.
The modern pentathlon athletes will have their first start in the vault on August 8.
