Time to give best performance, says gymnast Pranati

Ahead of the upcoming Tokyo Olympics beginning July 23, gymnast Pranati Nayak said that she is confident heading into the Tokyo Olympics.

The first batch of India's Olympic-bound athletes is departing for Tokyo on Saturday evening.

"It feels good that I have to compete on such a major platform. I will compete well and try to bring laurels to India. I am confident, I have prepared a lot. It is time to give my best performance," Nayak said.

A total of 127 athletes across 18 sports disciplines from India will be heading to Tokyo.

This is the biggest-ever contingent India is sending to any Olympics. The 69 cumulative events across the 18 sport disciplines that India will participate in are also the highest ever for the country.
