In the Asian Games 2022, the government had given the slogan - 'Abki Baar, 100 Paar'. Indian players proved it right. Now it is the turn of Paris Olympics 2024, for which it is being said - 'Abki Baar, 10 Paar'. This figure of 10 medals is minor in front of the Asian Games but everyone knows how difficult it is. After setting a record with 7 medals in the Tokyo Olympics, now the target is 10. Like the Asian Games, whether Indian players will be able to achieve success in this or not, will be clear in a few days. This expectation is being expressed from the players because the Government of India has spent millions of rupees on almost every athlete for the preparation of the Olympics in the last 3 years. Tokyo Olympics gold medalist star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra is at the top in this.

The world's biggest sporting event is starting in Paris from 26 July. Just a few days before this, the Sports Authority of India released a detailed report, which tells how much money has been spent on different sports and players for the preparation of the Paris cycle after the Tokyo Olympics. According to this, the maximum amount of Rs 96 crore was spent on athletics, while Rs 72 crore was spent on badminton and Rs 41.81 crore on hockey. Now let's talk about 5 such athletes, who got the most help from the government for their preparations.

Neeraj Chopra

There are once again great expectations from star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who created history by winning the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics. He has won medals in many big events consecutively and hence he is once again a medal contender. In such a situation, the government has also spent a lot for his preparation in the last 3 years. Rs 5.72 crore was spent by SAI for Neeraj's training abroad, foreign coach and other needs.

satvik-chirag

The men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, who have emerged as India's biggest hope in badminton, have also received full support from the government. Satwik-Chirag, who recently created history by becoming the number-1 pair in the BWF rankings, received Rs 5.62 crore from the government, which was spent on foreign coaches, training abroad and participating in tournaments.

pv sindu

Star shuttler PV Sindhu, who performed brilliantly by winning silver and bronze medals in two consecutive Olympics, also got help from the government. Sindhu, who is hoping to become the first Indian to win a medal in the third consecutive Olympics, received Rs 3.13 crore from the government, which includes the appointment of a foreign coach and support staff along with training facilities in Germany.

Mirabai Chanu

There are hopes of another medal from veteran weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, who opened the country's account with a silver medal in the last Olympics. Therefore, the government also gave Mirabai a grant of Rs 2.74 crore for expenses such as training in the US and biomechanical equipment.

Anish Bhanwala

Only 21-year-old shooter Anish Bhanwala is also expected to put an end to the shooting team's failure in the last two consecutive Olympics. Anish, who is going to make his debut in the Olympics, was given a government aid of Rs 2.41 crore to help him buy ammunition in addition to training in Germany with a personal coach.
