FollowThe date to Tokyo Olympics has drawn closer, with just nine days to go before the world is gripped into sports fever. The Indian contingent is all set to travel to the Japanese capital, with 236 athletes set to fight it out and put on their best show.
The Games would be held behind closed doors due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic challenges. Therefore, the fans would have to be content with watching the athletes perform virtually.
