Balraj Panwar, India's sole qualifier for the Paris Olympics in men's singles sculls rowing, is preparing meticulously with 20 days of training in Paris. Acclimatization, mental fortitude, and guidance from veteran coaches are his tools in the quest to reach the semifinals - a first in Indian rowing history.

Balraj Panwar, India's solitary qualifier for the Paris Olympics in men's singles sculls rowing, is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation. The athlete plans to train in Paris for 20 days to acclimatize to the local weather conditions.

Joining the first batch of athletes to arrive in the French capital, Panwar said in a virtual media interaction organized by SAI, IOA, and the Rowing Federation of India, 'We are going there 20 days in advance, and I'm sure it won't feel strange. It will help us acclimatize to the weather and be ready.'

Panwar's training partner, Indian doubles sculls rower Salman Khan, will accompany him. The stringent preparations follow Panwar's historic qualification, achieved by winning a bronze at the Asian and Oceanian Rowing Olympic Qualification Regatta in South Korea. Aiming to surpass the previous records, Panwar aspires to achieve the best-ever finish for India at the upcoming Olympics.
