This is found to be true even moreso when it comes to the women athletes of our region. While society as whole, around the world, needs to reevaluate and evolve the impression of women in sports, increasing the representation of South Asian women in particular remains a Herculean challenge. The total number of South Asian women participating in the Tokyo Olympics is just 75. Success of women in high performance sport, especially South Asian women, do not reflect the ground level reality. In the case of women athletes, most of us are always on high alert the moment we leave our houses.
