India's race walk trio is facing a tough test in the early stages of the 20km event.
At the 2km mark, Vikash Singh led the Indian contingent in 13th position, followed by Paramjeet Singh at 29th and Akashdeep Singh at 49th.
However, the race is far from over. With plenty of kilometers still to cover, there's ample opportunity for the Indian walkers to make a move up the rankings.
The situation hasn't improved significantly at the 5km mark, with Vikash slipping to 22nd, Paramjeet at 46th, and Akashdeep holding steady at 49th.
Let's hope for a strong finish from the Indian trio!
