IOA Chief PT Usha Slams EC Members For Not Felicitating 2024 Olympic Medallists
Indian Olympic Association: Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha expressed her disappointment over "the extreme insensitivity shown" by members of the IOA Executive Committee (EC) in failing to organise a felicitation ceremony for the Indian athletes, who won medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
India bagged six medals at the Paris Olympics, one silver and five bronze. Pistol shooter Manu Bhaker became the first Indian woman to win a shooting medal at the Olympics. Moreover, she became the first Indian athlete in the post-Independence era to win multiple medals in a single edition of the Games.
"I take pride I was able to help Manu in this journey. It is a matter of pride for me we had medals from Neeraj Chopra, Sarabjot Singh, Swapnil Kushale and the men’s hockey team as well, but the EC does not want to celebrate their success, which makes me very sad,” the IOA chief wrote in a letter.
