Less than a month is left for the pandemic-postponed Tokyo Olympics to begin. India will be sending over 100 athletes for the second Games running. In Rio 2016, 117 Indian athletes had qualified but couldn’t better the medals haul from the 2012 London Games, which remains India’s highest medal tally at a single Olympic Games (6). However, that threshold could in all likelihood be crossed in Tokyo with quite a few Indian athletes topping the world ranking charts to provide ample hope for a medal-starved nation.
In the entire Olympic history, India have won a total of 28 medals with Abhinav Bindra’s gold medal at 2008 Beijing Games still the solitary individual gold for the country. But that could all change this year.
