The Target Olympic Podium Scheme: Indian star paddler Manika Batra is looking ahead to 2024 Paris Olympics with the utmost confidence. She has achieved the career-best rank of World No 24 and has also regained the No 1 Indian female table tennis player rank.

The 28-year-old had a successful outing at Saudi Smash last week. Manika made headlines after defeating World No 2 Wang Manyu of China in Saudi. The Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) athlete, however, failed to move past the quarters after losing to Hina Yayata.

In her own words, Manika is really happy with her performance in Saudi and is now turning her attention to Paris with a mission to elevate her performance.
