This could be hotly contested, but the fact that gymnastics in India is yet to get to the big league remains a truth with only a few thousands pursuing the sport — which calls for innovation, sublime skills and absolute balance — in right earnest. Yet, the fact that there will be one in action at the Tokyo Olympicsis a big boost to Indian gymnastics. Pranati Nayak will attempt to go the distance and bring home the medal that India so keenly awaited from her idol Dipa Karmakar. The sport’s pin-up girl Dipa finished fourth in vault at Rio 2016. A faulty dismount on her second attempt dashed the Tripura girl’s chances of a podium finish.
