NEW DELHI: The list of coaches and support personnel who will accompay the Indian contingent to the Asian Games in Hangzhou continues to change. The Sports Authority of India (SAI) has withdrawn the accreditation of some male coaches and physiotherapists to ensure more female staff member accompany the delegation.
Several disciplines — including chess, sport climbing, roller skating, kurash, wushu, soft tennis and swimming — have seen recommendations of their male support staff being rejected by the country’s sports administrators after they failed to nominate at least one female coach/compliance officer, as mandated by SAI, with their respective squads.
