Nine months ago, after a deeply disappointing Olympics, Annu Rani did not have the courage to face anybody. The javelin thrower was nearly 10m behind her National record in Tokyo, finishing near the bottom in the qualification round, and that left her shattered.
“After the Olympics, I did not go home. I was nervous, I was worried about what everybody would say. Everybody kept asking why I went to Tokyo,” said Rani in a chat with The Hindu from Jamshedpur.
