India’s contingent is underperforming at the ongoing Asian Games, showing a decline from its performance in the previous edition. This has led to questions about who is responsible for the downturn.
India’s athletes have failed to match the medal tally achieved in the last Asian Games, with several events yielding results below expectations.
Sports analysts and former officials have begun pointing out gaps in preparation, funding, and selection processes that might have contributed to the slide.
The debate over accountability is gaining traction, with calls for a review of the sporting administration’s role in ensuring better outcomes for the contingent.
