Testimonials Harsha Bhogle, Cricket commentator and sports analyst As a sports lover, and as an Indian, I often found myself frustrated with India's sports establishment. Why, I often wailed, couldn't we provide the same care, the same encouragement and the same facilities to our athletes too. I had reconciled to believing it wouldn't happen in my lifetime when, all “of a sudden, a few good men started Olympic Gold Quest. In a few years, the work they have done is mind-blowing. I find Olympic Gold Quest uplifting. Mary Kom, London 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist in Women’s 51 kg Boxing I am very fortunate that I got the support of OGQ right when it was announced that women boxing was going to be included in the London Olympics. I don’t have to think twice before asking them for any support for my training and competition. They got me training under a wonderful coach “Charles Atkinson and their medical team headed by Nikhil Latey was always there to support me.
