The stunning shift in the mentality of Indian athletes | Olympic Tales, Ep 05
Indian shooters are making heads turn at the Paris Olympics. After failing to win a medal in the last two Olympic Games, the Indian shooters have won two medals in the first four days. Five of them have reached finals in the said period. They have been leading the way for the Indian contingent at the Games. Manu Bhaker opened India's medal tally, and she scripted history by becoming the first athlete in independent India to win more than one medal in a single edition of the Games.
Sarabjot Singh's interview with India Today from Paris shed light on the stunning shift in the mindset of Indian athletes. The 22-year-old, shy shooter made it clear that he was not happy with the bronze medal. After all, it is an Olympic medal, and Sarabjot should have been over the moon. Yes, he was elated with the bronze in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, but he spoke about gunning for Gold in Los Angeles after four years.
Indian athletes are no longer attending the Olympic Games just to make up numbers. Badminton stars have made it to the next round, and the archers have bounced back from team events. Lovina Borgohain is in the quarter-final, needing only one more win for her second Olympic medal.
Saurabh Kumar and Akshay Ramesh reflect on the first four days of the Paris Olympics in the latest episode of the Olympic Tales podcast.
