The Sports Authority of India (SAI) shared an update on the three Wushu players who were denied entry into China for the 2023 Asian Games that get underway on Saturday.
The Indian rowing team comprises 43 members (20 Men and 13 Women) including Asian Games Medallists as part of their Coaching staff, showing how medal-winning former rowers are contributing back to their sport.
A total of 13 archers were present in the felicitation ceremony, including history makers Aditi Gopichand Swami and Ojas Pravin Deotale. While Aditi, a Khelo India athlete, became not only the youngest Archery World Champion but also became the first Indian woman to win Gold in the World Cha
The achievement of this Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) athlete has now given India two golds at the ongoing championships, which has only happened for the second time ever. The last time India did so was back in 2001.
Notably, the Indian women's compound team of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Parneet Kaur and Aditi Gopichand Swami had also bagged the gold medal at the World Archery Championships 2023 in Berlin on Friday.
SAI plans to launch a total of 12 short movies in the coming weeks and hopes the initiative will not only motivate the athletes heading to Asian Games, but also youngsters of the country to take up sports.
