India's pursuit for Olympic gold medal ends at last

China Daily  

Neeraj Chopra in action during the final match of men's javelin throw of 2020 Tokyo Olympics at Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, Japan, Aug 7, 2021. India had won as many as eight Olympic Gold Medals in hockey until 1980, after which the lone Gold came in 10-meter air rifle event in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, won by ace shooter Abhinav Bindra. General Secretary of the Delhi Amateurs Boxing Association Dayanand Yadav said that the practice of politicians holding high posts of sports federations and associations is one of the biggest reasons for Indian sports failures. "The Indian athletes suffer from unwanted injuries as they are given unplanned exposure, and then they hide their injuries due to the fear of missing the Olympic flight," Arvind said and added that all these crucial things are to be kept in mind while improving the standard of the sport in the near future. As per official figures from the federal sports ministry, between 2014 and 2020, scholarships worth 830 million Indian Rupees have been disbursed among promising athletes, and around $3.2 million given exclusively to those nurturing talent to qualify for the Olympics.
