Indian Table Tennis star Sarath Kamal gets Tokyo Olympics confirmation

Indian table tennis player Achanta Sharath Kamal got confirmation of Tokyo Olympics qualification. The news was officially confirmed on Saturday and according to the officials, he is the part of men's singles category.

Chennai-based player tweeted,"Official confirmation of qualification in the Men's Singles event for the @Tokyo2020 Olympic Games with the most recent rankings released by @ittfworld. Happy to rise a couple of places to 30th."

The top ranked Indian player had qualified for the Tokyo event last month when he had beaten Pakistan's Rameez Daha, but this confirmation came fortnight later.

This will also be Sharath Kamal's fourth Olympic qualification, the first time he made his mark in the 2004 Athens Olympics, where India's shotgun shooter Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore had won the silver medal in double trap.
