“Athletes received letters from PM Modi months before the Paris Olympics, encouraging us to reach out for any support needed, which boosted our morale.” "The Prime Minister had a unique way to break down silos among the athletes. The Prime Minister asked questions like, 'Who among you is the youngest? How many of you are first-time Olympians? Who here has experience in 2 or 3 Olympics?' "He wanted the experienced athletes to share their insights with the junior ones. The room was filled with a new enthusiasm.”
