New Delhi: Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra, who now serves on the IOC Athletes Commission and was present in Paris throughout the Games, drew a parallel between the wait for CAS\u2019s decision and the long journey athletes endure as they prepare for the Olympics.<\/p>\n
Bindra emphasized that, just as in sports, \u201cpatience\u201d is crucial during times of uncertainty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve all felt that frustration when something important gets delayed, and today, many of us are feeling that as we wait for Vinesh Phogat\u2019s CAS judgment. But here\u2019s a thought\u2014this is kind of like what athletes go through every four years, waiting for another shot at Olympic glory. The nerves, the anticipation, the \u201cjust get here already!\u201d feeling\u2014we\u2019ve all been there, right?\u201d Bindra wrote on his official X profile.<\/p>\n
\u201cSport isn\u2019t just about what happens on the field \u2013 it\u2019s about the waiting, the patience, and the persistence to keep going, no matter what. So while we wait for August 16th, let\u2019s remember what our athletes endure and cheer them on, knowing they\u2019re playing the longest game of them all,\u201d stressed Bindra further.<\/p>\n
A day after her heartbreaking disqualification, Vinesh announced her retirement from the sport, saying she didn\u2019t have the strength to continue, as sporting icons from across the world threw their weight behind the 29-year-old wrestler who was appearing in her third Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
