It's the Olympic time! After an extended wait this time around owing to the coronavirus pandemic which forced the organisers to postpone the event by an entire year, finally the games have commenced. The official opening ceremony will happen in a few minutes from now although pre-tournament requirements are already being catered to. The greatest sporting extravaganza will see India enter 21st as the contingents enter in the alphabetical order of their names in their Japanese transliteration.
Mary Kom and Manpreet Singh are said to lead India's contingent as the country is hoping for its record medals tally this edition. Despite the event unfolding without fans at the venue, billions of people are likely to tune into the television broadcast to catch the festival of sports. It should also be noted that India has sent its biggest contingent to the Olympics this time and it remains to be seen whether the athletes live up to the expectations.
With the games set to officially open later today, check out the complete schedule of dates, fixtures, timings (in IST) of events involving Indian athletes.
