Whenever an Asian Games, Commonwealth Games or an Olympics comes up, the most common question on every Indian sports fan’s lips is, ‘how many medals will
we win?’
However, Athletics Federation of India (AFI) President Adille Sumariwalla believes it’s incorrect to try to predict the number of medals because there are numerous conditions that apply. “I believe the Indian contingent will do better [in Paris] than what they did at the last few Olympics. When I say better, I never talk in terms of medals. I’m not an astrologer and can’t predict medals. You see data. You need to follow a process,” Sumariwalla said during a panel discussion on the upcoming Paris Olympics organised by the Sports Journalists’ Association of Mumbai (SJAM) during their Lifetime Achievement Awards function on World Sports Journalists’ Day at Bombay Gymkhana on Tuesday.
