NEW DELHI: The delay of the Asian Games by a year due to the COVID-19 situation in China created significant disruptions in the schedules of many athletes. However, for Indian sailor Neha Thakur, the postponement turned out to be a stroke of good fortune.
Neha on Tuesday clinched a silver medal in the girl's dinghy ILCA-4 event, marking the initiation of India's medal tally in the sport at the Hangzhou Games.
