Abstract

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the world's largest athletic event, came to a close on Sunday, August 8th. In light of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until 2021 from its planned date of completion last year. It was the largest-ever delegation from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) that travelled to Tokyo for the games. It was envisioned that India will become a major sports power. The sportsmen proved that they aren't afraid to go all the way to the top in order to achieve their goals. "A journey of a thousand miles" is said to begin with "a single step," and that was the first step taken by our 126-person team as well. India's best-ever Olympics in Tokyo 2020 have injected a new spirit and optimism in the country's sports community with 7 medals (one gold, two silver, and four bronze) and a number of close finishes.
