Top Indian men's doubles player Chirag Shetty on Tuesday admitted it was difficult to come to terms with the early exit from the Tokyo Games but said he and his partner would look to utilise the Olympic experience to win medals at the upcoming events, especially the World Championships in December.

Chirag and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, ranked No. 10, won two of their three group matches but failed to qualify for the knockout stage.

Chirag, 24, is now targeting the upcoming major events such as Sudirman Cup (September 26-October 03), Thomas Cup (October 9-17) and World Championships (December 12-19). "There are a lot of positives to take from the Olympics. So we will look to do well in these events and hopefully we can come back with a medal," said Chirag, who is the Event Ambassador of Mumbai Ultra Run to be held on August 15.
