The Athletics Integrity Unit has provisionally barred top Indian discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur after she tested positive for a prohibited drug. If proven guilty, Kaur, who made it to the finals of women's discus at Tokyo Olympics 2020, risks a potential four-year prison sentence.

India's Neeraj Chopra has been nominated for the coveted Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year 2022 award for his historic gold medal victory in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He is just the third Indian to be nominated for a Laureus Award, following wrestler Vinesh Phogat and Sachin Tendulkar.

2020 Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra resumed his training, two months after his historic feat, at the National Institute of Sports, in Patiala. The Indian will be defending his Commonwealth Games and Asian Games titles next year, along with an eye on the world championships.

Kamalpreet Kaur revealed that the rainy conditions during the final at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics stopped her from giving her best shot. Even though the Indian qualified for the final with a great throw and raised the expectations, she finished sixth in the medal event with a best throw of 63.70m.
