Hockey India removed Harendra Singh as the coach of Indian senior men’s team on Wednesday.
According to the press release, the decision was taken after a meeting of Hockey India High Performance and Development Committee on Monday, which was attended by Chairman Dr. RP Singh and members including Olympians Harbinder Singh, B.P. Govinda and Syed Ali. The release stated that Singh was given back the charge of the Junior Men’s team, “with a vision and emphasis on building a strong player base ahead of the 2021 Junior World Cup and the 2020, 2024 Olympic Games.” Harendra is the 25th coach of the men’s hockey team who has been sacked in as many years, and the sixth in last six years.
Florence Barla is a big talent and I guess she will do wonders if trained properly in the 400 m and in 200 m. Just searched for her after seeing the Khelo India run of hers
Saw the heats and then read the article. Didn't know that she came second in the final.
Also,any exceptional talent emerging from the event ?
When I was watching the under 21 javelin event, commentators were mentioning some good performances in under 17 category. How good are Kunwer Rana and the other guy from UP?
Where is National Games? It is almost 4 years since last ones were held in 2015.
Extremely amateur setup of khelo india bypassing all sports federations, SAI look a bit suspicious to me. I hope they get professional setup like SAI Hostel/academy and Foreign coaches instead of just distributing money to play in their school.

I saw the final of the 400m( Khelo India).She came second.Her timing,in my opinion was not that special to be honest.
Needs significant improvement.
