The Hindu  

Long jumper M. Sreeshankar feels the Paris Olympics in 2024 is going to be very special, not just for Indian athletics but for sports in the country in general. He was speaking at the Sportstar National Sports Conclave in a panel titled ‘Eyeing the Paris Podium’. Rifle shooter Anjum Moudgil, India hockey star Rani Rampal, Tokyo 2020 Paralympic gold medallist in badminton, Pramod Bhagat, and boxing World Champion Nikhat Zareen were also a part of the discussion. We have come very close with PT Usha and Anju ma’am’s performance, but with Neeraj bhaiya removing that mental block with that gold medal in Tokyo, I am sure Paris 2024 will be something special for athletics and Indian sports,” Sreeshankar, who also celebrated his birthday at the event by cutting a cake on stage, said.
