Hello,
Athletics has never been India's cup of tea. Its more than 121 years to be exact since we won medal in athletics in Olympics.
Norman Pritchard won Silver in both Men's 200 Metres and Men's 200 Metres Hurdles in Paris 1900. Those are the only medals which is on India's name in Athletics.
We had many legends Milkha Singh, PT Usha, Anju Bobby George who tried to make us proud in Asian Games and Commentwealth games. Hima Das is a promising sprinter coundn't qualify as she struggled through injuries.
This time Indian athletics have given us hope with the raise of Neeraj Chopra, Shivpal Singh.
Total of 26 member competing from India, hopefully we will open our medal account this time.
