NEW DELHI: Gymnast Dipa Karmakar won't travel to Hangzhou for the upcoming Asian Games. The Sports Authority of India (SAI) on Friday rejected her request for inclusion in the final list of Indian athletes in individual events for the continental multisport event, TOI can confirm.
Not just Dipa, the entire men's gymnastics team has been dropped after failing to fulfil the sports ministry's eligibility criteria. Out of the nine-member gymnastics contingent originally selected for the Asiad, Pranati Nayak will be the country's lone entry in the women's artistic event.
