A year where the team at OGQ was focussed on all our athletes and their preparation for qualifying for the Olympics. 21 athletes supported by OGQ have qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympics. I need to thank our generous supporters whose commitment to the cause of an athlete’s Olympic medal winning performance has only got stronger over the last many years. I have always maintained that the medal represents pride and the performance is the means to reach that pride. On behalf of my entire board I thank each and every one of you who have 'given' with such emotion. To the athletes who have qualified “do your best and you would have served yourself and your nation well". To those who have missed out "you tried your best and take solace in that” To the doctors, physiotherapists, nutritionists, mental trainers, coaches and the 'always present team' at OGQ itself, so ably led by the committed and impassioned Viren - thank you for assisting our athletes to achieve their full potential. We will all be slightly nervous as we follow our athletes at Rio. OGQ was started with hope and a positive attitude to make a difference so I end now with a hope in my heart and a smile on my face. May India better its own performance from the last Olympics. “It takes just 6 grams of Gold to lift the worth of a Nation.” Warm Regards, Geet Sethi 3 Foundation for Promotion of Sports and Games www.olympicgoldquest.in Viren Rasquinha Olympian, Arjuna Awardee, Former Indian Hockey Captain Chief Executive Officer - Olympic Gold Quest Dear Friends, As we enter the home stretch towards the Rio 2016 Olympics, I want to take this opportunity to reflect on this wonderful journey over the years for our athletes as they aim to conquer the world at Rio. For some experienced athletes supported by OGQ like Gagan Naran‎g (Shooting), Yogeshwar Dutt (Wrestling) and Vikas Gowda (Athletics), this will be their fourth Olympic Games. Saina Nehwal (Badminton) and Bombayla Devi (Archery) will be at their third Olympic event. But for most others, like shooters Jitu Rai and Apurvi Chandela, badminton star PV Sindhu and archer Laxmirani Majhi, this will be their first taste of the Olympic spotlight. But for all athletes, no matter whether it is their first or fourth Olympics, it is always a proud moment for them to represent their country at the ultimate stage of international sport. When I represented India in hockey at the Athens 2004 Olympics, just to participate was ‎an achievement. I am very glad that the mind set of today's Indian athlete has changed. They now genuinely believe that they can stand toe to toe with world class opponents and beat them and win a medal. This belief is borne out of better facilities, better support staff and better preparations. The government has tremendously increased the support and funding for our Olympic athletes. But we have to say a big thank you to all our OGQ supporters as well. Your support is crucial as it enables OGQ give personalised and quick attention to the holistic requirements of all the athletes. Over the last 7 years, I've had the privilege of witnessing very closely this journey of blood, sweat and tears of our athletes. I am sure that there will be tears of sadness and tears of joy over the next couple of months. But one thing I can assure you, there will be no tears of regret that we did not give it our absolute best shot. So let's get together and support all our heroes ‎at Rio. We should never underestimate the power of a billion prayers and a billion hearts beating as one. Jai Hind! “It takes just 6 grams of Gold to lift the worth of a Nation.” Warm Regards Viren Rasquinha 4 Foundation for Promotion of Sports and Games www.olympicgoldquest.in 1.
