The Indian contingent for the Tokyo Olympics consists of 126 athletes. Along with the coaches and support staff, it adds up to 227. The Games are set to begin in less than 10 days and the team is all set for Japan.?
But only 2 members in the contingent know what it means to win an Olympic medal. They are Mary Kom and PV Sindhu.?
Mary Kom won a boxing bronze in the 2012 edition. She became the first female Indian boxer to win an Olympic medal. She will now look to do better and aim for gold.
Sindhu came close to winning a gold in 2016. She lost in the badminton finals to Carolina Marin and settled for silver. Now she has a chance to do one better.?
These two athletes know the joy, the other 124 will be aiming to do the same.?
If these two can better their performance, then nothing like it. And if the others ensure more podium finishes, India could end up with a rich haul from Tokyo. ?
