‘Chess Olympiad Compensated For Missed Paris Olympics Gold’: India Women's Team Coach Abhijit Kunte
NDTV World Summit: Just months after India failed to secure a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the men’s and women’s chess teams representing India at the 2024 Chess Olympiad in Budapest achieved an historic feat by securing the gold medal in both categories. According to the women’s team coach Abhijit Kunte, their success compensated for the near misses in the Olympics.
"I told the team that we are not going to make the same mistakes of 2022, we're not going to succumb the pressure and make history by winning the double gold. This gold medal was very important for the country, we did not win a single gold at the Olympics and even though there was not much hype about us heading into the tournament, we compensated for the missed gold at the Olympics and I think it made many Indians very happy,” Kunte told IANS.
A young Indian team comprising D Gukesh, R. Praggnanandhaa, Arjun Erigaisi, Vidit Gujrathi, and P. Harikrishna claimed India's maiden title in the Olympiad, with a dominant performance, finishing undefeated in 11 rounds in the Open category.
