The onset of the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has caused great distress across the world. From our perspective, it has meant that the Olympic Games scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan from July 24-August 9, 2020 have been postponed for the first time in history. While there is no doubt that the right decision was made, this postponement has led to a drastic shift in momentum for all our athletes who were in the ‘home stretch’ of their preparations. Having said that, this situation has also given us and our athletes a new purpose: that of being grateful, cherishing what we have and preparing even harder in the coming year to ensure we can move forward toward our goal of kickstarting an Olympic Movement in India! It fills me with immense pride to see the impact we have been able to create in Indian sport through the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) – our dedication to the nation built with the objective of churning out Champions for India.
