The Indian government has alloted $80 dollars for each team member as allowance for food and accomodation for the shotting World Championship to be held in croatia. What is the cost of per day's stay? $82.5. When this was told, the govt came up with a brilliant action...booked a cheap hotel and asked 4 shooters to share a room. If they are not willing to do that, they don't get to participate in the championships...
Really awful isn't it? That is the Indian govt for you. I am fairly sure that there will be a big official freebies going for the party. They will be given all 5* accomodation and for the sports persons who are going to participate they get a shared room like a jail cell with 4 people in it.
Here comes the best part ---> This is for the team that has won 16 gold medals in the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
Just imagine the state of other sporting events in my country. No wonder we get 1 medal in the olympics. May be if we had the competition of having the biggest population, we would at least have got silver...soon aiming for gold.
If you can't afford to give respect to your sportspersons, don't send them. It is better than getting humiliated like this.
My rant is over....Do read the story here
