PR Sreejesh's household in Pallikara on the outskirts of Kochi is expanding day by day. Soon after his stupendous performance in Indian hockey team's bronze medal winning finish at the Tokyo Olympics last year, awards and recognition, including the Khel Ratna, have been pouring in for the Indian hockey custodian. On Monday, Sreejesh received yet another honour when he won the prestigious World Games Athlete of the Year for his 2021 performances, becoming only the second Indian to receive the accolade.
PR Sreejesh on Monday won the prestigious World Games Athlete of the Year for his 2021 performances, becoming only the second Indian to receive the accolade. In 2020, Indian women's hockey captain Rani Rampal became the first Indian to win the honour for her 2019 show. Sreejesh beat competition from sport climber Alberto Ginés López of Spain and Italy's wushu player Michele Giordano for the award.
PR Sreejesh met former India coach Harendra Singh back in 2002, he didn't have proper pads. Wearing a lungi, the last thing anyone could imagine was that the young boy from Kerala was a budding goalkeeper. In the two decades since that day, the medal corner in Sreejesh's house is led by an Olympic bronze and an Asian Games gold. Wonder what those who thought a 'rock' in the post was better than Sreejesh would be feeling now. Earlier this week, Sreejesh's popularity among his fans translated into another addition to his trophy cabinet. After women's team captain Rani last year, it was the turn of Sreejesh to win the 'World Games Athlete of the Year' award for 2021. In an interview with TimesofIndia.com, the 33-year-old veteran lived through his journey while taking some tough questions, including his thoughts on retirement and some of the criticism around global awards decided by online voting. Excerpts...After the highs of guarding the goal post in Tokyo, you have scaled another peak. Two Indians in a row now as 'World Games Athlete of the Year', and both from hockey -- Rani last year and you this year...When I got this nomination, I was really happy and so thrilled. Getting nominated was in itself a big achievement for me...This is a global award. So when FIH (International Hockey Federation) nominated me, that made me so happy. I did have a positive vibe, that there is a chance for me to win this. Definitely Rani showed it last time. She had a huge difference in the number of total votes. So I believed that I would get it. Will this award pep you up to maybe go that extra mile in what could be called the twilight of your career after the Olympic bronze?
Boxing, weightlifting and Modern Pentathlon have been dropped from the initial programme for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, but could yet be added.

There were 55 new positive results for Covid-19 at the Winter Olympics on Wednesday, the highest daily total so far.
Aerial skier Laura Peel and figure skater Brendan Kerry have been named Australia's flag-bearers for the Beijing 2022 opening ceremony.
P R Sreejesh is in the twilight of his career, but the veteran Indian hockey goalkeeper is in no mood to call it quits anytime soon as he is eyeing a World Cup medal to add to his Tokyo Olympics bronze before deciding the future course of his career. Sreejesh, who made his senior team debut in 2006, is regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers in world hockey. Sreejesh, who captained the national team to the quarterfinals of the 2016 Rio Olympics, was also a part of the 2014 gold medal-winning Asian Games squad but his most cherished dream was fulfilled in last year's Tokyo Olympics when India won a historic bronze after a hiatus of 41 years.
