Member of the jury for honors, Bindra has recognized the expansion of its own perspective in its assessment of the impact that athletes have on the company.

“When I was an athlete and in competition for more than two decades, I saw the sport from a very narrow perspective. It was a question of doing the work and winning. It was my world. Now that I have left my investment in sport, I look at things more without passion.

“We are at a time in the history of our country where we consume or do sports. The two numbers are at historical highs. As a jury then we must always examine decisions from this point of view. The exercise this time gave us a chance to recognize and reflect on what the sports culture of India looks like. »»

“I thought our athletes had done well at the Paris Games. These are our most competitive performances of all time, but it has only been translated into six medals, which is disappointing for many people, including myself. The important question we all have to ask ourselves is, yes, that we are a population of 1.4 billion. But what is the population that plays this country?

“When you deeply dig into the country’s game population and what is the number of athletes in this country in organized training, the number is quite small. In this context, six medals are not bad. This perspective is required.

Bindra has credited the Sports Movement of Para in India and hopes that the power of success in the ecosystem is exploited for societal change.

“I think that the major decisions taken at the Grand Sport Para, to put paradesal sport on the same pedestal as valid sport, was a positive decision. This brought us 29 medals to the Paralympic Games. India is potentially subjecting to host Olympic Games, but it would also mean the organization of the Paralympic Games. How to make this whole country more accessible in the context of this aspiration? I think it would be the next step.
