"Quality conversation and discussion with Hon. Sports Minister @KirenRijiju Ji at his office today. Discussed about the preparations and lead up for the @Tokyo2020 Olympics," the Golden Girl of India Usha tweeted.

The Usha School of athletics, formed in 2002, has consistently managed to produce athletes for the country.
