Indian table tennis player Diya Chitale is eyeing the Olympics after winning a mixed doubles bronze medal with Manush Shah at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The duo’s next target is to improve their world ranking and strengthen their Olympic qualification prospects.
“We are doing well in doubles and are among the top three pairs in the world, but table tennis requires us to manage both singles and doubles. I want to keep improving in singles and continue performing consistently at the highest level,” Chitale said at a felicitation function organised by her club, Khar Gymkhana, on Wednesday.
