Asian Games 2023: Archer Jyothi Surekha, who won a hat-trick of gold, thought of quitting the sport - Here’s why

The Hindu  

Not long ago, V. Jyothi Surekha, the archer who made the entire country proud with a rare hat-trick of gold medals in the ongoing Asian Games in Hangzhou, thought of even quitting the sport, apparently disheartened at not getting the kind of recognition she felt she was due. But, thanks to her parents - V. Surendra Kumar and mother Sri Durga, Surekha decided to have another go in the circuit this year, including the Asian Games and make a point, if needed, to all the critics. Asian Games: Jyothi Surekha wins gold medal in women’s individual compound archery, achieves rare treble “Yes, she was terribly disappointed when she didn’t get the Rajiv Khel Ratna Award despite being a strong contender for two consecutive years,” her father said. Andhra Pradesh Government would be presenting Rs 30 lakhs for each gold Surekha won as per the existing sports policy even as some states like Haryana are giving Rs 3 crores for similar performances.
