India’s golf challenge at the Tokyo Olympics got a boost with Diksha Dagar being given a late entry into the women’s golf competition beginning August 5.
Diksha, who was among the reserves when the list was finalised earlier in the month, was conveyed the news by the International Golf Federation through the Indian Golf Union (IGU). The IGU has since begun making arrangements for Diksha to reach Tokyo in time for the Games.
She will join Aditi Ashok in the team. It is the first Olympic appearance for the left-handed Diksha, while Aditi will be playing her second Olympics.
