Among the most anticipated appearances tomorrow, is that of Nandini Agasara, who will be seen in multiple heptathlon events including the long jump, javelin throw, and 800m.

On the track, Animesh Kujur will be a key name to watch in the men’s 200m heats and potentially the semi-finals, while the women’s 200m heats will feature both Nithya Gandhe and multi-eventer Jyothi Yarraji.
