AGRA: India has to start winning medals in “double digits” inside the Olympics if it desires to realize its dream of hosting the 2032 Summer Games on the web, Indian Olympic Association President Narinder Batra stated on Saturday.
Batra was felicitated by the Athletics Federation of India on Saturday for his latest election as a member of the International Olympic Committee on the concluding day of its Annual General Body Meeting here.
“We are bidding for the 2032 Olympics, 2030 Asian Games, and 2026 Youth Olympics. Unless we start triumphing medals in the Olympics, it can be tough to host the Olympics properly. People will say India has gained few medals in the Olympics,” Batra said.
“So we must begin winning double-digit medals. We can target 10 to 12 medals in Tokyo, 25 in 2024, and around 40 in the 2028 Olympics.
“Unless we set goals, we cannot attain anything. I experience these are potential targets,” he said.
When asked about the IOA’s stand on making doping a crook offense, he said, “It could be very tough to reply to the question. Doping is a critical issue, and it should be tackled by using stringent measures.”
