India's ability to handle expectations will be severely tested when their two teams start the Olympiad campaign in Budapest, Hungary, from Wednesday.
While the Open (men) team is seeded second in the 11-round Swiss League team championship, just behind USA, the women are the top seeds. The absence of Russia - banned from the team events due the Ukraine invasion - is going to be a factor. Their men have not won the Olympiad gold since 2002 but the women have been top performers.
