Double Olympics medallist and ace shuttler P.V. Sindhu says the Sports Authority of India (SAI) has been doing a great job in supporting athletes by way of ensuring exposure trips abroad, taking care of the expenses of personal coaches and trainers and also in organising the National Games.
“I believe this is terrific and so important for any athlete aiming to reach the pinnacle in their discipline,” Sindhu told The Hindu while recounting her experience at the ongoing National Games in Gujarat.
“The TOPS scheme is a huge thing for Indian sport and those aiming for Olympic glory. For, this scheme ensures that they can focus on their goals instead of worrying about other issues,” she said.
