I am confident that we can host the Olympics - Ace Indian badminton coach Pullela Gopichand

By Hari Kishore M Modified 15 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Pullela Gopichand (left) with shooting star Anjali Bhagwat and Gujarat CM Bhupendrabai Patel. Ace Indian badminton coach Pullela Gopichand believes that India are ready to host the Olympics in the future. The noted badminton coach drew parallels with how the Gujarat government stepped up to host the 36th National Games. Gopichand said that if the state could host a big event in a short time, it would be possible for the country to host the Olympic Games too. Speaking at Gujarat’s #GoForGujarat initiative ahead of the National Games, Gopichand said: “If we can organize an event with 20,000 people so grandly in Gujarat, I am confident that we can host the Olympics too, which assembles only 11,000 people." Pullela Gopichand went on to praise the planned large-scale organization of the National Games. “I am so happy that after seven years the National Games are taking place in Gujarat and would like to congratulate central as well as the state government for such a massive scale of organization for the Games,” the Dronacharya awardee said.
