One step away from assuring individual tickets for the Olympics, Indian cavalry Fawad Mirza is one of the few players in the world who is benefiting from the postponed Tokyo Olympics 2020 for a year as it will give him a better chance of preparation. India has a certain quota in horse riding for these sports, but Fawad personally wants to get an Olympic ticket.

The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until 2021 due to the Kovid-19 epidemic. The Fawad is currently in Germany in connection with the Fawad practice that ended the country's 36-year drought by winning a medal in the equestrian individual event in the Asian Games 2018. The Horseman, who was awarded the Arjuna Award last year, told Bhasha in an exclusive interview over the phone that the organizers had no choice but to postpone the Olympics, given the current situation.

Fawad, who is practising in a place called Bergedorf in north-west Germany, said, 'The area where I am in Germany does not have much effect of this dangerous virus and players are allowed to practice here. In such a situation, I have continued my practice with necessary precaution. He said, 'The postponement of Olympics is especially good for me. My favourite horse has recovered from the injury but now I will have ample time to practice and test with him. This is a sport where your performance depends on harmony with the horse. The Olympic postponement also gave my other horses Fernhill FaceTime and Touchingwood a chance to rest.
