Viren Rasquinha, CEO, OGQ - “Deepika and Jayanta are both world class archers and great medal prospects for India at Rio 2016 and OGQ is very proud to support them. With just over 3 years to go to the Rio 2016 Olympics it is essential that we put concrete plans in place for them right away. OGQ will focus on providing them with world class equipment and sending them abroad for more exposure for training and competitions. Finally, we will also ensure that they get the right mental training and world class medical support to keep them in top shape. ”

.. "Performance-enhancing center"??? Haha.Dravid is so cool. So good at thoughtful lines which are sometimes quite funny too.“I would like to congratulate Abhinav for how quickly he found the vision and brought the whole thing to fruition,” said Dravid. “It actually took me two to three years to decide what I wanted to do. That’s probably the difference between a sharp-shooter and a Test batsman!”
Wonder, what happened to Rajesh Bind, a very "promising" javelin thrower. He was chosen by OGQ, as per the above report, in 2013 when he had slumped to 74-plus from the 80-plus he had the previous year. Then next year he slumped further to 70.20. He has not been heard since 2014. Perhaps OGQ can give us some information.jaydeep wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:13 am Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) today announced the signing of three new athletes for the 2016 Rio Olympics ...
