What to Expect from Top Indian Athletes at the Olympics 2020?

Olympics 2020

India is sending 127 athletes to participate within 18 different Olympic disciplines at this year’s much anticipated Tokyo Olympics 2020. 

With this Olympic dream team, India has high expectations of bettering its medal tally compared to the previous Olympics. 

To date, India’s largest contingent at the Olympics was at Rio in 2016, where it sent 117 athletes. 

India has many world-class athletes in many sports events. The contingent representing India at the Tokyo Olympics is comparatively on the younger side. They are aware of their responsibility and have been training very hard.

Here’s what you can expect from India’s top athletes at the Olympics 2020.

1. Boxing

This time nine boxers are part of India’s contingent for the Olympics, which is the biggest number ever. 

Among them is Mary Kom, who is a medal favorite for India in boxing. She won a bronze at the London Olympics 2012. She is participating in the Flyweight Section 51 kg.

Lovlina Borgohain is another Indian boxer with great potential to secure a medal for India in women’s boxing.

2. Wrestling

Vinesh Phogat is leading the women’s wrestling team. Having suffered injury during the Rio Olympics, Phogat returned to India in the middle of the game. 

This time, Phagot is representing India with the hope of winning. She is participating in the 53kg wrestling category. 

Bajrang Punia is also a top contender from India in wrestling. He is contesting in the 65kg category. This is his first Olympics but he is well trained and ready for the Olympic challenge!

3. Weightlifting

Ace weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu opened India’s medal tally at Tokyo Olympic as she bagged a silver medal in the 49kg women’s weightlifting category. 

Mirabai Chanu is the only Indian after Karnam Malleswari to win an Olympic medal for India in weightlifting after a long dry spell of 21 years.

4. Shooting

India has a real chance of winning a medal in shooting events in the 10-meter air rifle and air pistol category. 

Sourav Manu, Ela, and Divyansh have represented India in other international sporting events and have bagged medals at the ISSF World Cup. 

Indian shooters have performed extremely well over the last couple of years. Therefore, the shooting team is India’s best bet to win gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics. 

5. Hockey

Going by the form India’s men’s hockey team also has a realistic chance of clinching a medal at the Olympics. The team has the perfect combination of youth and experienced players. 

Undoubtedly, India has many other athletes who have a big chance of winning medals at the Tokyo Olympics.

India’s Olympic chances are looking better than ever

With such a competent team of athletes, our chances of bringing home a sizable stack of medals from the Olympics have never been better. 

Is this going to be the year that India finally makes a stunning breakthrough at the Olympics? We sure hope so!
