Babuhshahi Bureau
Chandigarh, August 3, 2024: Indian athletes battling the soaring temperatures and staying in non-AC accommodations in the Olympic Village have been provided with 40 portable air conditioners by the sports ministry to make their stay comfortable.
Praising the Indian athletes, Navdeep Gill,Sports Writer and Expert said salutations to the Indian athletes participating in the Paris Olympics who were staying in their accommodation (Games Village) without AC in the humid and hot environment till now. Now India has arranged AC in the rooms at its own level. 40 ACs were brought.
"Many of us sit on the bed in the AC room at home commenting/criticizing the players on their slightly poor performances. Just look at the sweat-soaked clothes of the playing players, how they were sweating are Sometimes they also bleed from above due to injuries.A hard hockey ball on a drag flick coming at a speed of one and a half hundred kilometers per hour also requires courage. We have seen how Germanpreet Singh, Amit Rohidas, Manpreet Singh, Harmanpreet Singh form a wall with goalie Sreejesh and stop attacks.
Most of the friends understand and appreciate the players. Salutations to them. Let's all support sports and sportsmen because no duplicate stuntmen are kept for their actions. They themselves sleep in the field," he wrote on his Facebook page.
