navdeep Singh is also dominating the internet and social media these days. Recently, the prime minister of india Narendra Modi also met all the athletes participating in the Paralympics 2024, during which PM Modi also joked with other athletes including Navdeep. But a podcast of navdeep is also going viral at this time, in which he was asked whether politics also has an impact in the olympics and Paralympics.
Did Modi government support?
In fact, indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat recently accused indian Olympic Association President PT usha of doing politics. navdeep was questioned in this regard whether there is internal politics in the Olympic and Paralympic Games. At the same time, whether the athletes got any kind of support from the government of india or not.
navdeep replied, "I cannot say anything about politics, but the government supported us a lot. We had a huge team of people from physios to masseurs. A huge recovery room was built there, in which a lot of money must have been spent."
Different coaches for everyone
navdeep further said that there are different categories of events for the same sport in the Paralympics. It is a big deal for athletes performing in all categories to have different coaches. He said, "If we talk only about javelin throw and high jump, india has won four medals each. There were 2-3 athletes in each category and everyone had a different coach. Supporting staff is very important and a single physio cannot take care of all the athletes at the same time. Overall, the government supported the athletes in a very good way."
