With over 600 players and officials participating in the Khelo India Winter Games, but what catches the bullseye are the six Olympians officiating the event, training the athletes and providing the technical guidance to the organisers. The engagement of Olympians having enormous experience augmented the importance of 4th Edition of Khelo Indian Winter Games.
Six times winter Olympian in Luge, Sheva Keshavan, who is also Indian Olympic Association Adhoc Committee chairman of Ski & Snowboarding has been too busy with the entrusted assignments. He believes that Gulmarg has the potential to become destination of international sports considering the natural facilities. ‘”This place can become the Launchpad of the country to nurture the potential of the players provided infrastructure augmentation”, opines Sheva whose sports career spreads over thirty years. “KIWG ignited the spirit of promising and talented youth thus ensure this launchpad will bring us medals in future’, he believes “as there are best trainers and coaches available to athletes.”
