5 Sports in which India can win a medal in Tokyo 2020

5) Wrestling

Despite of the doping controversies with which some of the players are mired with and poor performance of the players in Rio 2016 games wrestling, wrestling is a sport from which expectations for medal always remain high.

In London Olympics of 2012 Sushil Kumar bettered his 2008 performance and won a silver medal capturing the imagination of Indian masses which gave the sport a huge boost in both viewership and infrastructure availability.

The fiasco at the Rio Olympics of not winning a medal in men category was amply balanced by Sakshi Malik’s heroics. A small town girl coming from Haryana bulldozed the opponents winning a bronze medal of India and opening the medal tally at Rio.

Such inspirational stories are bound to inspire the untapped talent who have it in them to excel at international level but due to lack of resources and unavailability of infrastructure are unable to pursue the sport.
