Tokyo Olympics 2020 is knocking at the door, and competitors representing India are already at the Land of the Rising Sun.
INDIA WILL BE REPRESENTED BY MORE THAN 100 COMPETITORS
India will be represented by more than 100 athletes in Tokyo Olympics 2020, being held a year late due to the Covid-19 debacle. Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Boxing, Hockey, and Shooting are the disciplines Indians qualify almost every time, and the 2020 Olympics are no exceptions to the rule.
There are further interesting appearances to note. Farhad Mirza will represent India in Equestrian, the first Indian in 20 years to qualify for the Olympics in the discipline. In Fencing, Bhavani Devi has become the first Indian to qualify for the games. Sailing, too, has brought forward some good news. Nethra Kumanan has made history as the first Indian female sailor to qualify for the Olympics.
Tokyo Olympics will begin with an opening ceremony on 23rd July 2021. The closing ceremony will take place on 8 August 2021.
