The COVID-19 pandemic-postponed Tokyo Olympics is already underway and India athletes will be seen in action from Friday (July 23). Indian athletes in the Olympic village are fighting a dual war, and are under pressure. First is the pressure of the approaching games which start in two days and the second is that of Covid-19. But most of them are remaining focussed about performing at the biggest sporting stage. In these collection of pictures, we take a look at how some of India's top athletes are gearing up for Tokyo Olympic Games.

Since the quota is by name (nominative), it can’t be changed. According to an official of Gymnastics Federation of India (GFI), since the Asian Championships scheduled to be held in the last week of May in Tokyo was cancelled due to pandemic, the unused continental quotas were reallocated to the eligible athlete from the Asian zone only.

Indian gymnast Pranati Nayak failed to qualify for the women's vault finals on Sunday.
