It will be a tough ask for the athletes given that they have not had the opportunity to feature in international competitions for quite some time now. Several Indian track and field athletes missed the meets in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan because of travel restrictions. As a result, they will be under huge pressure to perform here in Patiala in order to nail their tickets to Tokyo.
