Tokyo: The challenge of Indian Golf at the Tokyo Olympics gets a boost with Daga Dagar being a late entry into a women’s golf competition starting 5.
Diksha, which is among the reserves when the list is resolved at the beginning of the month, delivered news by the International Golf Federation through the Indian Golf Union (IGU).
Igu has since started making arrangements for Diksha to reach Tokyo on time for the match.
He will join Aditi Ashok on the team.
This is the first Olympic appearance for Kidal Diksha, while Aditi will play both Olympics.
However, Diksha, who was born with hearing loss, now it will have a unique honor to represent India in the two deaf Olympics in 2017, where he finished the second for the silver medal.
Diksha qualified after Paula Reto South Africa decided to retreat and Austria refused to make reallocation for their golfer Sarah Schober, according to information from IGU.
Diksha also represents India at the 2018 Asian Games and then became professional in 2019 and has since won two titles on European European tours, one of which is a team event.
Before the news entered, Diksha was included and scheduled to play the invitation of Hada Isp in Ireland.
Meanwhile, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has also begun formalities for accreditation and travel.
While Diksha himself may not have to face the problem of old quarantine, his father, Naren Dagar, his coach who is also often the caddy, just returned to India.
He also had to complete his formality with IGU and IOA to be able to help Diksha, which was in the Top-60 list when the Olympics were originally scheduled for July 2020 before being postponed due to Covid-19 pandemic.
He also represents India at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta where he is one of the three women’s golfers from the country.
