ABP News' Jeetega India celebrates Indian athletes ahead of Tokyo Olympics 2021.

 

As the Olympic Games in Tokyo get underway on July 23rd, ABP News hosted a unique e-conclave today called "Jeetega India." Various prominent personalities from the Indian sports fraternity expressed their perspectives and aspirations on the Tokyo Olympics 2021 at this e-conclave.

 

Winner of multiple Grand Slam titles, Leander Paes spoke on the e-conclave about how COVID-19 would have a massive impact on the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. “Due to a delay of one year, a lot of things have changed. Rankings have changed. Players have had to reinvent themselves, elongate their trainings and what not. For a 100 metre race, athletes have to wait for 4 years for just 9 seconds. But such is life and such is sports. We have to continuously adapt ourselves.”

 

ABP News has been dedicatedly focusing on creative and engaging ways to connect with the youth through special virtual events and conclaves. In fact, one of the key objectives of this e-conclave was to encourage youngsters to pursue their sporting ambitions and contribute to the development of India's sporting culture.
