After a one-year postponement, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will finally open on July 23. India will be sending their largest contingent in the Games' history so far -- 124 athletes (69 men, 55 women).
Apart from field hockey (which is a team game), Athletics comprises the second-largest competitors from India in this edition with 26 athletes. The Shooting event, which is seen as one of India's strong hopes for a podium finish at the Games, has 15 competitors.
The Archery contingent also raised hopes with a stellar performance in the first three events of the 2021 World Cup. India is currently at the top of the medal tally with 7 gold medals and one bronze medal.
We understand that it might be a little challenging to follow the progress of all the Indian athletes in the biggest global event in the world. Hence, we have compiled a date-wise schedule for all the athletes participating for the country.
Note: In events which will run for multipe days, we have only listed the first-round events.
