As Covid-19 cases surge, India's Olympic preparation feels the squeeze

The coronavirus pandemic is raging across India, over 200,000 people tested positive for the virus on Friday. This surge is threatening to disrupt the preparations of India's Olympic contenders.

With less than 100 days to go for the start of the Tokyo Olympics, those in or around the squads have contracted the virus, preparatory camps and tournaments are being rescheduled and the officials in charge of logistics are looking at tweaking their biosecurity protocols.
