All of you are welcome to be here… PR Srijesh showed why he is known as “The Wall.” It may sound repetitive but every medal winner even those. Who lost by just one point only confirm that this will not end unless they get gold. They claim that their mission will not come to an end until they win gold remarked the prime minister. While talking to the members of Indian contingent.

Shuttler Lakshya Sen also spoke about his preparations with coach Prakash Padukone.
“At some point during the Olympics, Prakash Sir took away my phone and told me I won’t get it back till after Games and this was a huge deal breaker because there were so many cheerleaders behind me throughout my journey. Experience at running in Paris was fantastic! A little bit … Yes it sucks because I nearly had it for myself but could not have it and I am going to try doing my best next time,” said badminton player.
Former Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh opened up on his journey saying “For last couple of years. I am thinking about retirement.” My career started in 2002; played my first international match for juniors in 2004. Sounds like we are in Paris.
The total number of medals for India at the Paris Olympics was six, including five bronze and one silver.
