"Absolutely Shocked": Ashwini Ponnappa Blasts Sports Ministry's 'Ridiculous' Claim

Indian doubles badminton specialist Ashwini Ponnappa on Tuesday said she received little to no individual financial assistance from the sports ministry in the build up to Paris Olympics and even her request for a coach was turned down ahead of the just-concluded Games. The Sports Authority of India (SAI) had come out with a document, detailing the financial support provided to the Paris-bound Indian athletes. It mentions that Ashwini was provided Rs 4,50,000 under TOPS and Rs 1,48,04,080 under Annual calendar for Training and Competition (ACTC), which included the procurement of Game Ready recovery equipment, international competitions and sparring partner in the Tokyo cycle.

"Received Rs 1.50 Crore From Whom?": Badminton Star Ashwini Ponnappa Refutes Olympics Funding Report

Following Indian badminton stars' dismal campaign at the Paris Olympics, many shuttlers have been criticised for their performance in the quadrennial event, especially considering the support they have received from authorities and the government. Even Prakash Padukone, former All-England winner and Lakshya Sen's coach, tore into the athletes for their failure to step up and deliver a medal. Reflecting on India's poor badminton show in the Paris Games, a report in PTI highlighted the sort of money that badminton stars received from the TOPS scheme. However, shuttler Ashwini Ponnappa has called the report 'a lie'.

"Garden Mein Ghoomne Wala": Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Lakshya Sen's Olympics 2024 Meltdown

The Paris Olympics 2024 has been a bittersweet experience for the Indian sports fans. After the high of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where India returned with a record seven medals, the expectation was that at the Paris Olympics, the haul would be bigger. However, following a string of narrow misses and some unlucky incidents (like the Vinesh Phogat disqualification), India won six medals. Badminton was one sport where India has fared well in the last three editions.

Was Prakash Padukone's Outrage At Badminton Stars Justified?

In a viral rant, Prakash Padukone, the coach of the Indian badminton contingent at the Paris Olympics 2024, stated that it was "high time the players step up and win".

Lakshya's defeat came after the pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, one of the favourites to win a medal, also crashed out in the quarterfinals.
