  • Pranati Nayak is India's only gymnast at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, and this is her fourth Games.
  • She has three Asian Championships bronzes but no Asian Games medal, and competes in the vault on 22 September.
  • Her coach says the plantar fasciitis that troubled her at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow is 90 to 95 per cent healed.
  • He wants both her 360-degree twist vaults landed cleanly, which he says would be enough to reach the final.
