New Delhi, March 29 (Hindustan Reporter) Iconic Indian athlete Anju Bobby George has questioned the Indian Olympic Association (IOA)’s decision to not consider ‘golden boy’ Neeraj Chopra as India’s flag bearer for the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024.

Let us inform that earlier this month, the IOA had named top table tennis player Sharath Kamal as the flag bearer of the Indian team for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics and Olympic bronze medalist MC Mary Kom as the Chef de Mission for the Summer Games. .

The Commonwealth and Asian Games medalist took to Instagram on Thursday to question the IOA’s decision of not considering Neeraj as the flag bearer and wrote, “Surprisingly, the Indian Olympic Association has not considered our golden boy Neeraj Chopra as the flag bearer for the 2024 Olympic Games.” Agreed..?? (All the federations including table tennis have not yet announced the squad for Olympics) ?Finally based on your assessment of the situation Neeraj is the first choice for the flag bearer.. Still..Why??? ….”

Let us tell you that world number 88 player Sharath Kamal has won the National Table Tennis Championship a record 10 times. He has won 13 medals, including seven gold, at the Commonwealth Games. He has also won two medals in the Asian Games. The veteran TT player is also a three-time bronze medalist at the World Championships.

Mary is the first female boxer in boxing history to capture six world titles. The five-time Asian champion was the first female boxer from India to win a gold medal at the 2014 Asian Games. The veteran boxer won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and no record or title has remained untouched by him. The Olympic Games will take place from 26 July to 11 August.
