CWG | Only athletes with medal-winning potential to be sent

Full-strength likely for Asian Games

The AFI is likely to focus only on events which are likely to bring medals in next year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham while a full-strength team could go for the Asian Games in Hangzhou. “We are trying to identify the people who will participate in which competition. There are certain events where we have good chances of winning medals in the Commonwealth Games, they (athletes who are good in these events) will only be sent only for this,” said Lalit K. Bhanot, the chairman of AFI’s Planning Committee, on Monday evening. “But definitely we will go with full strength to the Asian Games. And those who qualify, we will send them to the World championships (in the US).”
