CWG 2018 can be said as the rise of superhumans as this time the games will be different. Although. India has got a small contingent but the players are very enthusiastic and most of them have gone through a great preparation. They are not into the thought process that government is standing behind every step as most of them have gone through there own training sessions in their respective states and favorite coaching grounds.
Earlier, it was the long training sessions called by the Government and it was nothing like rigorous imprisonment where the different coaches superimpose their style of coaching and thus they never use to improve in their sports. The ability of players use to come down and they got exhausted when reaching the opening ceremony.
Now, the scenario is different as most of the players are found to be very tough with the superhuman approach and the few of the likes are from the middle-income background. They certainly don't have the luxuries but one thing which they possess is the food and the thought to become someday a great achiever on their own.
Today, the first medal was won by Mirabai Channu who won the Gold Medal in weightlifting and also Gururajam who is from a very humble background cleared the weightlifting in clean and jerk attempt with the first medal falling for India.
Similarly, the various other players from the badminton to swimming is seeing the new surge of athletes and players who are giving their best shot. With people who are getting inclined towards sport and Col. Rajya Vardhan Singh Rathore putting his weight behind the work of athletes by increasing the allowances in sports there is a new enthusiasm found in the athletes to prove themselves and bring back the glorious days to India.
The same could be said for the companies and the corporates who are helping the employees to come-up in the interested fields where various sports meet are organized and also there are intergroup competitions held in company premises. The person who is good into sports is given encouragement through various means and private companies also hire people on the basis of their sports capabilities.
The earlier quota system is gradually shelving out of India as performance is the key factor. If talking about IPL 2018 aspirants from small states are also coming up but this cricket is certainly a game still for the niches where they are putting more of money. The business person involved in cricket is bringing out people from areas of Kashmir, Mr. Manzoor Ahmad Darr, who worked as a security guard gets into cricket.
The only thing which needs to be done is that sports should be actively bought up at the school level and it should be promoted wholeheartedly so that our students should get an opportunity to flourish in sports.
A small achievement in the field of sports from my end is that I am trying to become a budding Marathoner and till date has completed two marathons, one at an International level which was Angkor Wat Half Marathon 3rd Dec2017 in which I completed with a clock timing of 02:36:16 seconds. The second one was the recent event at Hindustan Marathon 2018 in which I just could better my timing with 02:20:41 seconds
Hopefully, with the coming up days I will improve on my skills as a runner because the bug has already bitten me to become something on my own since the year 2002-03 when I started working in various companies at New Delhi and the first one was Raj Khosla Pvt Ltd or Shelters which has shaped my career and made me the person what I am today!!!
