India’s only artistic gymnast at the Tokyo Olympics, Praniti Nayak failed to qualify ahead of the first subdivision. Despite having tremendous efforts and scoring 13.466 on vault, Nayank could not qualify. On the floor, Nayak managed 10.633, 9.433 on the balance beam, and 9.033 on uneven bars. At the end of the first subdivision, her total was 42.565.
As far as her rankings stand, she is at 22nd place at the Women’s uneven bars, 26th on floor, 12th in all around, and 26th on the balance beam.
Praniti had qualified on the basis of her 2019 performance. At the Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championship, the then 24 years old scored the Asian quota. She clinched the Bronze medal there. However, the championship was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Another disappointment at the Games came at the hands of Nethra Kumanan who finished 33rd at the Laser Radial Race 1. The young athlete finished 3:35 mins behind Spain’s Cristina Bajo, who came in at first place. Greece came in second and Malaysia came in at the third spot.
Nethra would now compete at the second race and would hope to better her last performance. She is the first Indian woman to have qualified for the Games.
