Big boost for Sports Ministry in Union Budget

The Union Budget 2023 brings up a big boost for the Sports Ministry in terms of revised allocations

The ministry's flagship programme, 'Khelo India -- National Programme for Development of Sports' continues to be the government's priority, with it being allotted Rs 1,045 crore.

&nbsp;In a year when the Indian athletes will compete at the Asian Games and prepare for 2024 Paris Olympics, the Sports Ministry has got a fillip with the government allocating Rs 3,397.32 crore, an increase of Rs 723.97 crore, in the Union Budget on Wednesday.
The amount is more than the revised budget of the previous financial year (2022-23) when the ministry received Rs 2,673.35 crore, as against the actual allocation of Rs 3,062.60 crore.
One of the reasons for the reduced revised allocation for 2022-23 could be the postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will be held this year.
An increase of Rs. 439 crore for Khelo India has brought the sports budget to a new high of Rs. 3,397.32 crore. Khelo India&rsquo;s budget of Rs. 1,045 crore accounts for just under a third of the total allocation as well.

There was a time when winning an international medal was a far-fetched dream for many Indian athletes but here we are today where just ending up on the podium isn't enough for them.
It's gold or nothing for Indian athletes as winning a silver or a bronze doesn't satisfy their hunger. Pooja's comments sparked a debate whether no one remembers about those who finish 2nd & 3rd and the gold medallist get the maximum recognition?
Well, as India dominate in many disciplines like wrestling and weightlifting and now even win medals in track and field events at the commonwealth Games, settling for a bronze may not be that big a deal now. However, in an event like the Olympics, which is the grandest stage of them all for the athletes, ending up on the podium is a way bigger achievement irrespective of the colour of the medal.

India men's hockey captain Manpreet Singh will join ace Indian shuttler, PV Sindhu, as the nation's flagbearer for the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022.
The Indian Olympic Association had initially picked Sindhu as India's flagbearer but added Manpreet's name after being told by the organisers that one male and one female were needed.
While Manpreet was India's flagbearer at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, Sindhu led her compatriots at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast.
Mirabai Chanu and Lovlina Borgohain were the other two names in contention but a 4-member commission of the Indian Olympic Association comprising of acting president Anil Khanna selected Manpreet and PV Sindhu as leaders of the pack. Commonwealth Games start July 28 with the opening ceremony.
Neeraj Chopra, who was earlier appointed as the Flagbearer, had to pull out of the Commonwealth Games due to a thigh injury that he suffered during the World Athletics Championships finals.

As heartbreaking as this image of an emotional Savita Punia may be, no one can roll back the time to ensure a different result in India's women's hockey semi-final vs Australia at Commonwealth Games 2022. Unless you are the Aussies.
That's exactly what happened when the match went into penalty shootouts after the scoreline ended 1-1 at full-time. The shootout began with a stroke of controversy, as Australia's Malone took the first shot and missed.
However, she was gifted a second attempt because the referee missed starting the eight-second countdown clock on the scoreboard. Malone converted it this time around as Savita's initial save was ruled out. Australia eventually won the shootout 3-0.
This didn't go down well with the Indian fans as the Aussies were booed on the ground. Angry fans then took to Twitter to slam Australia and went on to call them 'cheats' for poor sportsmanship.
However, Malone said after the win that she was only focused on her team and victory at that moment.

Indian athletes have already proved their mettle at Commonwealth Games 2022 with many athletes living up to their billing and some surprise podium finishes. But it's not over yet as there are more medal matches lined up on the final day in Birmingham.
HOCKEY
The Indian men’s hockey team will take on the mighty Australians in the final and would hope to end their supremacy at CWG.

The two-time Olympic medalist will take on Michelle Li of Canada on the final day.
Lakshya Sen, who sailed to the men's singles final, will also look to continue with the momentum and finish with a gold medal on Monday. He will face Malaysia’s Tze Yong in the ultimate showdown.
TABLE TENNIS
Achanta Sharath Kamal maybe 40 but he continues to be the poster boy of Indian table tennis. He may have 12 medals at the Commonwealth Games, including 5 gold but only one of them came in the men's singles event in his debut Games way back in 2006.

Many expected Indian athletes to dominate in wrestling or boxing but not many saw them fetch medals in track and field events at Commonwealth Games 2022. But the athletes proved their doubters wrong.
Avinash Sable, who had to walk a distance of 12km from home to school and back from the time he was 8, made the world sit up and take notice of him when he won India its 4th medal in athletics at the Birmingham Games by clinching silver in the men's 3000-metre steeplechase. 
What made it even more special was the fact that Kenyan runners had ensured a podium clean-sweep in the event in the last six editions of the CWG. Sable ended their hegemony with a breathtaking run in the final. 
After his personal best timing helped Sable end up on the podium, he agreed that he wanted to prove it's not just the Kenyans and Ethiopians who win in long-distance races. An Indian can win too. And he surely did it in style. If not the biggest, it certainly is one of the biggest achievements for an Indian at this year's CWG.

Ace shuttler and one of India's top medal contenders, PV Sindhu, had a Covid-19 scare upon her arrival in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022.
According to a report in the Times of India, Sindhu's RT-PCR test results showed some deviations, which forced the authorities to put her in isolation for some time. The 2-time Olympic medallist was told to not come in contact with her badminton contingent till her second result came out. 
To everyone's relief, Sindhu's test result came out to be negative and she was then allowed to check into the Games Village on Tuesday. 
The report further states that it was because of this scare that the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) delayed the announcement of India's flagbearer for the Games.

The IOA delayed the announcement of India's flagbearer for CWG 2022 due to PV Sindhu's Covid-19 scare

Ace shuttler and one of India's top medal contenders, PV Sindhu, had a Covid-19 scare upon her arrival in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022.
According to a report in the Times of India, Sindhu's RT-PCR test results showed some deviations, which forced the authorities to put her in isolation for some time. The 2-time Olympic medallist was told to not come in contact with her badminton contingent till her second result came out.&nbsp;
To everyone's relief, Sindhu's test result came out to be negative and she was then allowed to check into the Games Village on Tuesday.&nbsp;
The report further states that it was because of this scare that the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) delayed the announcement of India's flagbearer for the Games.
