Sportspersons’ national hopes hamstrung by inadequate training
The HinduA ‘lack of coordination and cooperation’ between the Andhra Pradesh Olympic Association and the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh has hamstrung the training of sportspersons from the State who are set to participate in the event, even as the Gujarat government has announced that it would give financial aid to sportspersons of its State who bag gold medals in the tournament. While APOA says there is “no response to its requests and representations” regarding the national games, the SAAP stoutly says it has not received any such requests. A delegation of 250 persons, including players, team managers, coaches, chef de missions, and APOA staff are going to Gujarat to attend the games,” says Mr. Purushottam. The 36th National Games are scheduled to be conducted from September 27 to October 10 at Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, and Bhavnagar in Gujarat in 36 sporting disciplines.
