The pair of Arjun Lal Jat and Arvind Singh had finished 2nd in 2019 Asian Rowing Championships. Jakar Singh competed mostly in Quadruple sculls, don't how performance will translate to Single Sculls.

2 quotas is a possibility, what do you guys think

I think Jakar has done well in singles. We should get atleast 2 quotas. Mainly we should reach there.

So has Pranati Nayak qualified. All Indian media is mentioning the same

[Sanjib 17]

So in 100m, 110mH, 200m, 400m, 400mH, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10000m, both men and women, we don't have a single participant in Tokyo, only Sable and 1 relay team in track events, this is unbelievably poor, I feel the foreign coaches hired have to be younger more strategic and technology driven rather than getting emotional and making baseless statements like Vismaya has a great technique etc.
