The Athletics Federation of India is hoping to win three medals in 2020 Olympics with the likes of star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra and long jumper Murali Sreeshankar emerging as strong prospects, its deputy chief coach Radhakrishnan Nair said Friday.
In a presentation during AFI's Annual General Body Meeting here, Nair claimed that India's track and field athletes could clinch 1 silver and 2 bronze in next year's Olympics in Tokyo. He also projected India to get 1 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze from athletics in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
When he was later asked about the events from which India can win medals in Tokyo Games, he said, "We can win medals in men's javelin, men's long jump, mixed 4x400m relay and some chance in men's and women's 4x400m relay races."
