PM endorses India to win 36 medals at 2036 Olympics
Karnal: 'We aim for 36 medals in the 2036 Olympics, and we will work hard to win even more than that,' president of the Haryana Olympic Association Meenu Beniwal expresses his confidence at an event in Haryana. Speaking at a special event organised in Karnal on the occasion of International Olympic Day on Monday, Beniwal said India would win their highest-ever medal tally at the 2036 Olympics. Beniwal said both Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who confirmed India wants to host the 2036 edition of the Games, and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini have endorsed this vision. He further mentioned that a new Olympic association has been recently formed, and its early progress looks promising. 'After many years, the Olympic Day is being celebrated. This is a new start for the whole of Haryana, and I hope it creates a nice environment. This is the beginning of our attempts to create and nurture more athletes. We are creating more excellent centres at different locations in all sports. We will announce the details soon. " International Olympic Day is celebrated on Monday, and there was palpable enthusiasm among athletes. India's performance in the Olympics has significantly improved over time, and Haryana has played a vital role in this growth. Athletes from Haryana have consistently delivered strong performances. 'After many years, Olympic Day is being celebrated properly, and it's sending out a very positive message. Continuous efforts are being made to increase Haryana's medal tally. We're building more training centres for various sports and working on improving facilities for athletes. Today, programmes are being held in Hisar, Jind, and other regions as well,' he added. When asked about political interference in sports, Beniwal said, 'Many athletes don't want to go through trials and prefer direct selection, but that will no longer be allowed. Transparency will be ensured in the selection process. We will keep politics out of sports. Haryana has the highest availability of raw sports talent in India—around 55% of children ready to compete are from our villages. We're working to provide them all with the necessary support and facilities.' In Karnal, the Olympic Day was celebrated with participation from rowing athletes across Haryana. Karnal remains the only hub in the state where athletes gather for focused rowing practice. These athletes showcased their strength and preparedness for national and international competitions. Rowing features both team and solo events, and several athletes have shown the potential to win medals on their own. 'This was a fantastic event, probably the largest programme ever held for International Olympic Day. It will give a great boost and support to both junior and senior athletes. Our sport will receive much-needed encouragement. Water sports, especially rowing, offer massive medal opportunities—up to 15 Olympic medals are available in rowing. The training atmosphere in Karnal is excellent, though athletes still need to travel far to get quality practice,' Ravindra, a rowing athlete, said.

It is also a deeply historic day, as we witness the end of an era. President Thomas Bach has led the Olympic Movement with extraordinary grace, integrity, and conviction always placing the athlete at the heart of every decision. His legacy will echo for generations,' Bindra wrote on X. 'In just a few hours, the torch will be passed to Kirsty Coventry, a fellow Olympian and champion both in the pool and in life. As an athlete, she inspired the world. As President-elect, she now carries the hopes of a new generation. Kirsty, your journey is a testament to the values we hold dear. You understand not just what it means to win, but what it means to lead with empathy and purpose. I wish you strength, courage, and joy in this new chapter. The Olympic Movement is in wonderful hands,' he concluded. Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medallist, extended her wishes on the occasion. She also reflected on the pride and honour of representing India on the world's biggest sporting stage. 'There's nothing bigger than this. This isn't just sport -- it's my land, my blood, my sweat, and my tears. Grateful to have represented India at the highest level,' Sindhu wrote on X.

'Cricket has always united us, and now, it's part of the Olympic movement! On this #OlympicDay, let's celebrate the power of sport to inspire, connect, and uplift. Invite your +1 for a walk, a run, or a game of cricket, and take a step towards a stronger, healthier India. Together, let's keep moving forward on our journey to bring the Olympic Games home,' Shah wrote on X. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) echoed the ICC chairman's sentiments and posted on X, 'Cricket has joined the Olympic movement- a historic leap for our beloved sport! This #OlympicDay, let's celebrate the power of sports to connect and inspire. Through the #LetsMove campaign, we invite you to pick your +1 and move - whether it's a walk, a run, or a game of cricket.
