We are a little over 6 days away from the start of the biggest multi-sport event in the world- the Olympic Games. Although the tournament was originally scheduled to happen in Tokyo last year, it had to be pushed back by an entire year owing to the outbreak of the coronavirus. Despite a lot of criticism even this year on organising an event of such a big magnitude at a time when the delta variant of COVID-19- which is more contagious- has been detected in Japan, the festival of sports is on. However, there won't be spectators to watch it all unfold at the venues. As the Indian contingent gears up for the much-anticipated games, here is a look at some of the top medal contenders from India this year. A win here in any event in the COVID-era would not only bring enormous joy to the millions of people in India but send across a loud and clear message of hope and will.
