Jakarta Asian Games champion in men's 1500 metres Jinson Johnson says his chances of making cut for the Tokyo Olympics are almost over as he is still recovering from Covid-19 at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) training centre in Bengaluru.

"I was one of the several athletes who had tested positive for Covid-19 over the last fortnight in Bengaluru. It was a big setback to my training. I'm feeling better now but am still in quarantine. I can't go out without the advice of a medical expert," he told IANS from Bengaluru.
