According to NRAI President, reserves have been announced for each event, considering the uncertain global scenario with the pandemic and the reserves will get to train on par with the Olympic bound athletes in the run up to the Games.

“The National selection committee’s main focus was to select the strongest squad for the Games and to ensure that the most consistent performers in each event, during the Olympic cycle, do not miss out.
