Olympic Gold
Quest (OGQ) is very proud to announce that it will be supporting
Archers Rahul Banerjee and Tarundeep Rai.
Rahul and Tarundeep are India's brightest prospects for an Olympic
medal in London 2012 in Recurve Men's Team (Archery). The Indian Men's
team was recently ranked No.1 (Currently World No. 4) in the world and
comprises of Rahul, Tarundeep and Jayanta Talukdar.
Banerjee and Rai won 2 Gold medals and 1 Silver medal in 3 Archery
World Cups as part of the Indian Men's Recurve Team in the last 1
year. They both played an important role in helping the Indian Recurve
Team win a Bronze medal at the Asian Games 2010. 24 year old Rahul
also won the Gold Medal at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi 2010 in
the Recurve Men's Individual event. Arjuna Awardee Tarundeep who is 27
years old, is the first Indian to win an individual men's silver medal
in Archery at the
Asian Games 2010 in Guangzhou,
China.
Rahul Banerjee's
current individual world ranking is 23. The Railway employee was
delighted, "We do need specialized support especially in terms of
world class equipment and a psychologist. OGQ support can make a
significant impact to our Olympic preparations." Tarundeep,
employed with the Indian Army and whose current individual world
ranking is 19 in the Recurve event seemed more delighted on the softer
aspect, "The OGQ team has already made us feel very comfortable and
built a lot of trust which is essential to success. This is a big
boost to our confidence and preparations for the
London Olympics."
OGQ Founder and 8
time World Billiards Champion Geet Sethi, reflected on OGQ's latest
signings, "Archery is the fifth sport that OGQ is expanding into
after Athletics, Badminton, Boxing and Shooting. Our team led by Viren
is working very hard to learn a lot about the sport to be able to make
a difference to the performance of the Archers." OGQ CEO, Viren
Rasquinha continued, "Both Rahul and Tarundeep have the required
talent, skills and experience to win medals at the Olympics. They need
to be managed in a proper scientific manner. Our research team feels
that the priority is to provide them with world class equipment, more
foreign exposure for training and a mental trainer. Both Rahul and
Tarundeep are very intelligent and pick up things fast. These are very
exciting times for OGQ to support athletes from a new sport. "
