Prakash Padukone Critiques Indian Shuttlers' Olympic Performance

News summary

Indian badminton legend Prakash Padukone criticized Indian shuttlers after their disappointing performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where they failed to secure any medals. Lakshya Sen, despite becoming the first Indian male shuttler to reach the semifinals, lost the bronze medal match to Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia. Padukone emphasized that players should take responsibility for their performances, stating that the necessary support and resources were provided by the government and sports authorities. His comments sparked a debate, with fellow shuttler Ashwini Ponnappa arguing that the responsibility should be shared by the entire team, including coaches and support staff. This lack of medal success marks the first time since 2012 that India has not won a badminton medal at the Olympics.
