Only 30 Indian athletes will take part in the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics on Friday.

Only 30 of India's total players will attend the March-past due to the potential impact of Covid-19 and the next day's play.

One hundred and twenty-eight Indian athletes are competing in the Olympics.

The players of archery, judo, badminton, weightlifting, tennis, women's and men's hockey, and shooting have decided not to participate in the March-past. These players will not be able to participate because their game is on Saturday.

One hockey player, eight boxers, four table tennis players, two rowers, one gymnast, one swimmer, four sailors, one fencer, and six officials are among the Indian players who are going for the March-past.
