TIL Desk Sports/ Stressing on the need to put systems in place, India’s lone Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra today said the country should forget about 2020 Games and instead start working for 2024 and beyond.
“No, for 2020 (Olympics), the time is too short. Just a couple of years down the road and you can’t really make any significant changes. You have to just try and streamline whatever you have. It would be a mistake to completely, radically change everything. Any change takes time to set in,” the 34-year-old shooter said when asked about the road ahead for India’s Olympic sports.
“In all fairness, we should just forget about 2020 (Olympics) and maybe start working for 2024 (Olympics) and beyond 2024, 2028 (Olympics). That requires the systems, that requires long term investment, that requires patience. We need to set systems in order and hopefully those systems and that investments that you put in through a significant amount of time, will bear fruit sometimes down the road,” Bindra, who won a gold medal in 10m air rifle event in 2008 Beijing Olympics, said.
