5 Indians who will in all probability will be competing in their last Olympics at Rio

2.Leander Paes

Each time he went down, 4 years later, he would rise again. That's how it's been with Leander Paes and the Olympics ever since he competed in his maiden Games in Barcelona in 1992. The 1996 Atlanta bronze medalist, now 43, will be heading to Rio De Janerio in a couple of months to compete in his 7th Summer Games and surely, his last.

Sometimes, the world ‘great’ is used quite loosely, but there is no need for any debate when it comes to using that word on Paes. For he will most certainly go down as one of the greatest sportspersons to have come out of India.

That discussion can come when he eventually calls it a day from the sport. Until done, however, there are bigger things to look forward to from him, as he looks to win a second Olympic medal, 20 years after his first, on the shores of Rio.
