Archer Rajat Chauhan: For India's ace archer Rajat Chauhan, a dream is turning into reality as the compound archery is set to make its Olympic debut in the 2028 Los Angeles games.

The 2014 Asian Games gold medallist, who was always dreaming of an Olympic medal, had even gotten a tattoo of the iconic five Olympic rings on his right arm in 2016.

"It’s a proud moment for all of India because the compound archery team has finally been given a chance to prove itself. I got an Olympic tattoo back in 2016, and now I haven’t slept all night—I’m so excited!" Chauhan told IANS on Thursday.
