Udaipur : Olympics have started in the city of Paris. The eyes of the whole world are fixed on it. Around 117 players from India are participating. Talking about Rajasthan, there are only two players from the state with a population of 7 crores who are participating in the Maha Kumbh of the Games. Both are shooters, who have already made the country and the state proud in many big events. Rajasthan has already won medals in shooting in the Olympics, which are registered in the name of Olympian Rajya Vardhan Singh. He is a big name in politics at this time.
Udaipur based shooter Maheshwari Chauhan is participating in shotgun. She is also representing India in this sport in Olympics. She has already proved her mettle on foreign soil by winning many medals. The other player is Anantjeet Singh Naruka. He has made a big name in Asian Games. He has won silver and bronze medals. Both Maheshwari and Anant will lead India in skeet mixed team event. The biggest thing is that this is the only Indian pair in this sport.
Players made allegations against Rajasthan government
The number of players participating from Rajasthan in the 2020 Olympics held in Tokyo was high. In the last games, Apurvi Chandela, Arjun Lal Jat, Divyansh Panwar and Bhavana Kumari had qualified. But this time this number has come down to only two. Former Olympic players of the state say that compared to other states, there is a lack of facilities for players here. Players are able to do something on their own. The help received from the government is very nominal. If the situation remains the same, then the number will decrease to zero next time.
