Bengaluru, July 28: After a year's delay the Tokyo Olympics got under way on July 23 with the opening ceremony, and now after a week of events like Hockey, Badminton, Shooting, Archery and more, the track and field events are set to begin in the Japanese capital.

Athletics, which is the biggest attraction of Tokyo 2020, or any Olympic Games for that matter - the track and field events - is all set to start on Friday (July 30).

There are 48 medals in total up for grabs across the men's and women's disciplines, and Tokyo Olympics will see one more event than the Rio 2016 Games with the addition of a mixed relay event.

Tokyo 2020: Four stars to watch out for in athletics

There will be many athletes from across the globe taking part in different events with likes of Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith, USA's Sydney McLaughlin, Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and USA's Trayvon Bromell being some of the athletes to watch out during the Games.

India too will see a 25 member team take to field led by emerging javelin throwers Neeraj Chopra and Shivpal Singh, who have raised hopes of good outcome this time around, while the 4x400 mixed relay, that makes its debut at the Games, will also see an Indian team, that finished third at the World Athletics Championships in 2019.

Meanwhile, KT Irfan, the first Indian athlete to qualify for the 2020 Olympics will also be part of the team that also features India's sprint ace Dutee Chand, who is set for her second Olympic appearance.
