Javelin throw, also known as the Neeraj Chopra sport in India, involves throwing a javelin weighing 800g and about 8 feet. Imagine throwing three end-to-end cricket bats, weighing slightly more than a 750ml cola PET bottle, far enough to cross 90 floors of a skyscraper on its side.
Performing in the 10m air rifle shooting, which won India two Olympic medals including Abhinav Bindra's first ever gold, involves using a 5.5kg rifle with a bull's eye ring on the target of 0.5mm. Picture stabilizing six laptops at shoulder height to hit a target the size of a pen nib from a distance equivalent to a full-sized school bus, repeatedly, 60 times, in fitted apparel weighing 1-2kg while withstanding the laptops' recoil with each shot.
High jump requires you to surpass 7 feet 1 inch, equivalent to jumping over 'The Great Khali' after a short sprint without contact. The world record is 2.45m and India's is 2.29m, therefore imagine the size of 'The Great Khali' with a mohawk.
Diving requires jumping from the third floor of a building (10 meters), hitting the water at a speed of about 56.3 km/h, maintaining perfect form or executing precise mid-air choreographies, and sometimes synchronizing with another diver.
