NEW DELHI: Coaches and support staff should be identified and attached with athletes at least two years prior to a major multi-sport competition so that the desired results could be achieved to improve India’s medal standings at the global events, it was decided during the Mission Olympic Cell’s (MOC) meeting held late last evening here on Thursday.
The meeting was the first to discuss the country’s preparedness for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and Asian Games in Hangzhou and was chaired by union sports minister Anurag Singh Thakur.
