Ahmedabad: Mana Patel, a 21-year-old international swimmer from Gujarat, has been selected for the Tokyo Olympics. She is the first player from Gujarat to get a ticket to this year's Olympics. Ahmedabad resident Mana Patel will participate in the 100m backstroke swimming competition to be held at the Tokyo Olympics. She will become the first Indian woman to participate in the event, having represented India in several international swimming tournaments and also won gold medals. But this is the first time she will play for an Olympics.

Mana told the media about her selection at the Olympics that she is extremely excited. She wants her medal wardrobe to include medals from the Olympics, commonwealth, and Asiad, all sports. Mana has said that she practices for five hours a day, in which she practices for two hours in the morning, one hour in the afternoon, two hours in the evening.
