India can win more medals in Tokyo than they did in Rio: Rijiju

Backing the athletes to perform well, the Minister said that Olympians are stars and should be given more love and affection across the country. He added that the media's role in the upcoming Games will be crucial.

'Olympics ki Aasha' are a series of films made on the life of the athletes going to Tokyo . Fans who are interested in learning more about the athletes in the Indian contingent can watch these films, available at the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports official website.

Rijiju also added that he would request honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi to join him in a virtual send-off for the athletes heading to Tokyo.

Rijiju is confident that India will win more medals than they did in Rio in 2016. However, so as not to put the athletes under immense pressure, the minister also said that the Indian contingent should not get disheartened if they fail to win a medal.
