Despite a record number of athletes appearing for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics from India, the main area of focus is restricted to a few athletes, especially the medal contenders. However, there are many athletes who are capable of going the extra mile at the Games. Do you know who they are?

Tokyo-bound boxer Simranjit Kaur has tested positive for Covid-19 at a national camp at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, in Delhi, which has forced the authorities to call off the event. On the other hand, two shooters, who have also qualified for the Olympics have been infected by the virus.

India continued their supremacy on the South Asian Games stage after finishing on top with a record-breaking haul of 308 medals as the Games came to a close in Shillong on Tuesday. On the last day, the hosts added 7 gold and 2 silver medals to their tally to finish with a bang in the 12th edition.
