Reflecting on the success of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where India secured seven medals with Neeraj Chopra's gold in men's javelin throw being a significant highlight, the nation holds high hopes. Athletes like PV Sindhu, Lovlina Borgohain, Achanta Sharath Kamal, and Manu Bhaker are among those expected to shine this year.
