India is hopeful of a medal in the table tennis event at the Paris Olympics. Female player Manika Batra has Olympic experience but she could not perform as expected at the Tokyo Olympics.

Manika said that she will make mistakes in the Paris Games and this time will focus on one match at a time. India will claim medals in the individual and team events of table tennis in Paris. Manika played an important role in qualifying the Indian women's team for the Paris Olympics. Manika said that winning a medal was not in my mind in the initial stages. I have learned a lot of things from my fellow players. 'I will not repeat the mistakes made in the Tokyo Games. I have changed my mindset. I have become calmer and more confident. My real goal is to challenge for a medal but I will move forward slowly.'
