Legendary badminton player Prakash Padukone criticised the Indian athletes for not living up to expectations after his ward, 22-year-old Lakshya Sen, lost the bronze medal bout of men’s singles badminton. The former All England champion, who runs a world-class academy in Bengaluru, vented out his frustration, saying he was disappointed that Indian shuttlers drew a blank in Paris.
Prakash Padukone argued that Viktor Axelsen’s praise for Lakshya Sen meant nothing because his ward failed to medal at the Games. He highlighted that Lakshya needs a lot of work.
At the same time, Prakash Padukone said the Indian government has gone beyond its way to support Indian athletes in the lead-up to the Paris Olympics and urged the athletes to take more responsibility.
However, the reaction to Prakash Padukone’s comments have been mixed. Some argue that the coaches should take responsibility wen the athletes are losing if they are okay taking credit when they are winning. Doubles shuttler Ashwini Ponnappa called Prakash out for his comments.
Isn’t he right in more than one way?
Akshay Ramesh and Alan John discuss the Indian badminton team’s failures and the series of fourth-placed finishes in Paris for India.
