An Olympian betrayal?
In the four years that the Mission has been around, all of the selected candidates have distinguished themselves in major national sports events. The Mission’s output is all on record: Sharp shooter Abhilasha Joshi even managed to trounce international star Anjali Bhagwat in 2007, and the team stood third in the 2008 January national shooting meet; and Kulwinder Singh won the National Junior Championship in 2008 in the 24 metre rapid fire event. She says, but for the Mission, she could not even have dreamt of pursuing the expensive sport.
Abhilasha was third in the 2008 team event along with fellow shooter Sriyanka Sadangi. Says Abhilasha, “The news of the Mission being axed has come as a terrible blow to us all; for everyone associated with the programme was highly organised and supportive. The equipment provided to us was the finest to be had anywhere.” Adds Sriyanka, “It is really painful – the mere thought, that I will never again get to report for those exciting, shooting sessions!”
Kanika (14), and Lovepreet also earned national selections in athletics, and like the others feel they will lose everything now that the Mission has been terminated. Lovepreet, the son of a soldier, absolutely dreads the prospect of returning to his native place Ambala. Says he, “I can’t tell you how I have slogged these last three years.” And they were speaking not just for themselves, but the rest of the contingent as well.
Coach Deep Bhatia shares their pain, and completely disagrees with those in the Army who claim that no results were coming in. Says Bhatia: “I profoundly disagree with all those who say the Misson needed to fold up.”
Last year Major General V.K. Ahluwalia, Director-General of Military Training, the nodal department of the Army that was tasked with running the Mission, had told TSI: “Already, I can say with confidence that this Mission has a great future.” So what can have happened in this one year to so completely extinguish that optimism? Even if there was nepotism and financial management, as some allege, is this abrupt scuttling of the Mission the solution? Should not the Army have punished the guilty officers and found healthy replacements?
Considering the many accomplishments of the Mission’s sportsmen, there was every chance that, with three more years’ training, some among them at least would have shone in the Olympics. As international shooter Samresh Jung says there needs to be great consistency to become worthy of an Olympic medal. Jung cites the example of the Chinese shooting team. “Its 2008 Olympic hopefuls began training in 2005 itself, and China established 28 international quality ranges for the purpose,” says Jung. National shooter Rachna Kulshreshtha agrees, and says it takes a great deal to produce an international level player. Adds Kulshreshtha, “It all calls for huge investments and focused work, and even then it takes six to seven years to shape a player of world standing.” And the Mission had completed less than four years when the news of its demise surfaced.
This most unfortunate decision was least expected from the Indian Army, which has always been famed for its disciplined and holistic approach in all things. But for now, that image lies in ruins, along with the dreams of all these budding sporting talents.
