My heartiest congratulations to every athlete. 2020 is a special year. The year got many challenges for athletes. Covid changed a lot of things - how we prepare, how we perform and the crowd factor. It is going to be a different kind of atmosphere for athletes in Tokyo. It is going to be a good moment for India. I am confident that are going to do well and I am sure will win many medals this time.
