The opening and closing ceremonies of the 18th Asian Games will be held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta. 3 | P a g e The 18th Asian Games will witness athletes from 45 countries competing in 465 events approx. Jakarta will host most of the events but sports like shooting and tennis will be played in Palembang. Indonesia is hosting the Asian Games for the 2nd time after the Jakarta Asian Games in 1962. The Asian Games are organised every four years by the Olympic Council of Asia, the 2nd largest multi-sport event next to the Olympic Games in the world. India and Asian Games The India's contingent at the Asian Games 2018 will have 572 athletes - 312 men and 260 women competing across 36 events. Young javelin-thrower Neeraj Chopra carried India’s flag and led the contingent at the Asian Games 2018. India’s best performance at the Asia Games was in Guangzhou 2010, where India won 65 medals, including 14 golds. There are many Indian athletes who are being considered strong medal contenders for the 18th Asian Games. Let us take a look at them: o Hockey - Defending champion India will look to once again bring home the gold in the men’s category while the women’s team will look to better their bronze-medal performance from Incheon to finish with the yellow metal. o Wrestling - Bajrang Punia, Sushil Kumar and Vinesh Phogat are being considered strong medal contenders for India. o Badminton - P V Sindhu, Sania Nehwal, and K Shrikant have shown commendable performances in the past few months and have a good chance of winning medals for the country. 4 | P a g e o Shooting - No Indian shooter has shown more promise than the Haryana school-going 16-year-old, Manu Bhaker. She also shot down the gold at the CWG and will be a strong contender in the 10m air pistol event in the Asian Games 2018. o Tennis - Rohan Bopanna will be a contender along with very impressive Divij Sharan in men’s doubles. In the absence of top singles player Yuki Bhambri, the Chennai-player, Ramkumar Ramanathan will carry India’s hopes. o Boxing - Vikas Krishan will be India’s strongest contender for a medal in Jakarta. Shiva Thapa has a good record at the Asian Championships to draw confidence from, having claimed three successive medals. Sonia Lather will lead a three-member Indian women’s team in the absence of MC Mary Kom, who pulled out to focus on the World Championship. Sonia will compete in the 57kg. o Kabaddi - India are the defending champions of the gold medal in men’s and women’s kabaddi event at the Asian Games and are expected to win Gold this year too. o Gymnastics - Dipa Karmakar is tipped to be India’s best medal bet in Jakarta. o Table Tennis - The Delhi-player, Manika Batra is expected to give a strong fight to her rivals at the Asian Games 2018. o Hima Das for athletics, Neeraj Chopra for javelin throw, Seema Punia for discus throw and Dutee Chand for sprints - all pose high chances of winning medals in their respective disciplines. Apart from the above mentioned disciplines, in the Asian Games 2018 unusual events like bridge, pencak silat and kurash will also see Indian athletes compete.

  • Press Release J&K's Lone Wrestler, Who Learns the Nuances by Watching Sushil and Bajrang's Videos on Youtube
    Press Release J&K’s lone wrestler, who learns the nuances by watching Sushil and Bajrang’s videos on YouTube Pune, January 11: Not every heart-warming story is from the medallists. Some come from the likes of Deepak Singh from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). For Deepak, the opportunity to come and compete at the Khelo India Youth Games is in itself a major step in his young career. He dreams of getting into one of Sports Authority of India’s scheme to ensure that he gets more opportunity, coaching and competition. Whatever he has learnt is from his coach and by watching videos of Sushil Kumar and Bajrang Punia. He lost his first bout against Maharashtra’s Parveen in the boys U-17 freestyle wrestling 55kg weight category on Friday. Yet, the 16-year-old is not as dejected as you would expect from an early loser. He calls it a learning phase. “I am from Kathua, and not a single kid in my school (GHSS Badnota School) or in that area is into wrestling. So I can’t practice unless I participate in any tournament. Therefore, every such event is a learning step for me and try to improve my performance by learning from my mistakes,” said Deepak. “We have traditional wrestling but modern wrestling infrastructure, training and support system does not exist in J&K. There are no coaches or even mats in our area,” he added. Naturally, Deepak is a lone entry from his state in the wrestling discipline in Khelo India Youth Games, Pune and this is the first national tournament for the wrestler.

  • Fit India Movement
    NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DELHI Launch of FIT INDIA MOVEMENT 29Tth August 2019 REPORT By:- Dr. Anidev singh Student Activity & sports officer National institute of technology Delhi INTRODUCTION OF FIT INDIA MOVEMENT Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi launched “Fit India Movement” at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on the occasion of National Sports Day celebrated every year on 29th August, the birth anniversary of Indian Hockey Wizard, Major Dhyanchand, saying the initiative is the need of the hour and will take the country towards a healthier future. At a colourful ceremony, which included a presentation of India's indigenous martial art forms, dances and sports, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said technology has contributed to a sedentary lifestyle. The campaign is aimed at encouraging people to include physical activity and sports in their everyday lives. "Fitness has always been an integral part of our culture. But there is indifference towards fitness issues now. A few decades back, a normal person would walk 8- 10km in a day, do cycling or run," PM said at the event."But with technology, physical activity has reduced. We walk less now and the same technology tells us that we are not walking enough," he added. The Prime Minister also administered a fitness pledge in his address, inviting all Indians to join in spreading awareness towards physical fitness. The launch was also attended by Sports Minister Shri Kiren Rijiju and this year's National Sports Awards winners among others. The Prime Minister congratulated the winners of the national sports awards and lauded India's sporting achievements.
