Paris Olympics: Opening Ceremony Should Have 'focused More On Athletes', Says IOA Chief PT Usha
"In the opening ceremony, the organisers should have focused more on athletes. This is an athlete's event, they should give more importance to players as the attention was on them for only a few seconds, otherwise, everything was good," PT Usha told IANS here on Saturday.
Usha, who won six medals at the 1985 Asian Championships in Jakarta, bagged 13 gold medals in ATF competitions between 1983 and 1989 and also claimed four gold medals and one silver in the track & field competitions at the 10th Asian Games in Seoul, South Korea, still one of the best performances by an athlete in Continental event. Despite her unprecedented success, Usha was not able to secure a medal at the Olympics with her best performance coming in the 1984 edition in Los Angeles when she clocked 55.42s in the women's 400m hurdles to miss the bronze medal by a wafer-thin margin.
