Arjun Jat and Arvind Singh at Tokyo Olympics 2020

Arjun Jat and Arvind Singh will headline for India in the lightweight men's double sculls at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. The duo booked the Olympic berth after finishing second in the Asia/Oceania Continental Qualifying in Tokyo, Japan.

Arjun Jat and Arvind Singh will be the fourth Indian rowing team to compete at the Olympics. India has made six consecutive appearances at the Olympics (including Tokyo) in rowing.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Kasam Khan and Inderpal Singh competed in the men's double coxless. In 2004, Paulose Pandari Kunnel finished at 27th position in the men's singles sculls at the Athens Olympics.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Bajranglal Takhar finished in 21st position in the men's singles sculls, while Devender Kumar Khandwal and Manjeet Singh finished 18th in lightweight men's double sculls. In 2012, Sawarn Singh finished at 16th position in the men's singles sculls, whereas Sandeep Kumar and Manjeet Singh finished 19th in lightweight men's double sculls at the London Olympics.

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Dattu Baban Bhokanal recorded India's best finish in rowing by obtaining the 16th position in the men's singles sculls. The duo of Arjun Jat and Arvind Singh will look to improve India's position in rowing at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
