The Olympic silver medal Sindhu has been showered with a lots gifts both from governments and private organizations, worth more than 30crores. This humongous response comes as a prodigious and stimulating factor to sports aspirants.
This situation brings out a controversial and meaningful questions of, why the same support hasn’t been lent by these organizations prior to winning the medal?
Believe it or not Mr. Pullala Gopichand suffered from the lack of funds to run the academy and in turn, the government tried to grab his land, where he was running the academy. Now, governments and private organizations give a standing ovation to Gopichand as a great coach and pour money to generate more Sindhus.
But why is it not before???
During the last Olympics, when Saina Nehwal won bronze and met sports minister Mr. Ghill, to best of our surprise Mr. Ghill couldn’t recognize and don’t know who Gopichand (the best badminton player of India) is ? And what has he achieved in badminton?
See the Irony!!!
In the recent Rio Olympics, even on the request and sufferings of the participants with the inadequate outfits play the game and lack of physical trainers to assist them, our sports minister Mr. Vijay Goel was in no mood to have a look at it and Denied!
The Dipa Karmakar requested to take her trainer with her, but she was Denied!
Requested for support staff to provide water and refreshments during the play, Denied!!
OP Jaisha, the runner, just at the finish line she fainted and the most idiotic thing is no Indian doctor was there to take care of her. Even if there was a little delay would have cost the death of the athlete and Mr. Goel terms it as a simple issue!!!
