While this year was a tough one for many people due to the ongoing pandemic and its newly-mutated COVID-19 variant, Omicron, we also got to see a fair share of ups and downs in the world of sports. While this year was marked to be one of the most glorious years in the history of Indian sports, it also had many sad moments. To mark the glory, there was the Olympic gold won by the track and field star Rajeev Chopra. On top of it, there were many sporting legends in India and the world that we sadly lost too.
