New Delhi: Head of the National Badminton coach Pullela Gopichand expects Indian athletes to claim the digit digit medal that is unmatched in the Olympics and has stated world champion P V Sindhu as one of the favorites to win gold.
India will deploy the largest Olympic contingent – more than 120 athletes – at the Tokyo Olympics which began on Friday.
“I believe that this time, we will have, hopefully, the largest medal calculation in India until now.
We can go beyond what the Indian team does in London which is six medals and hopefully getting a double digit is what I expect,” said Gopichand.
“Because there has been a lot of support and assistance from the government and I just hope with such support, which we get, I think getting more medals strengthen the hands of people related to sports.” I believe that whether it is shooting, wrestling, boxing or Mirabai Chanu in weightlifting, I think they have many opportunities, “he said during the webinar announcing the collaboration of the Institute of Training and Dhyana, the official Meditation partner of the Indian Olympic contingent.
Gopichand, who has guided Saina Nehwal and Sindhu for bronze and silver respectively in the last two Olympics, believes Indian badminton players have a good chance to improve their performance.
“In badminton, we have a chance, sure for better what we did in Rio and London.
So I hope Sindhu can do, he will definitely be one of the favorites at the Olympics with a venue too, “he said.” And also chirag and satwik, though, has a difficult lottery but I see them as a potential hope for medals.
For Sai Praneet, it will be difficult.
But he did it well in the world championship and I hope he can repeat the performance.
Gopichand, who developed a Dhyana ring along with the Bhairav ​​Shankar Entrepreneur Biomedical technology, said it would be a pressure Olympics with all the necessary restrictions and protocols.
“This Olympics will be very different from whatever we have in the past.
Usually the Olympics are like celebrations, such as party festivals there, where there are many young people from all over the world …
in each round and the corner you will find a superstar of sports others, from various countries, “said Gopichand.
“Usually it is a very passionate environment but this time it will be almost like do-your-work-and-move place because after you lose, you have to leave the country within 48 hours, that’s the type of norms they have.” So this will be Make stress.
Every morning, you wake up, you wear your mask, make yourself tested for temperature, so it will be difficult.
“So the amount of time they can relax, be able to focus on breathing, able to be alone and have productive things to do than just emphasizing things they cannot control it will be important.
The webinar was also attended by CEO of MSYS Technologies Sanjay Sehgal, which is the trustee trust of education, Squash Tanvi Khanna, MD Avantari Technologies Bhairav ​​Shankar and Actress Tanya Maniktala.
