Supporting
OGQ is a no-brainer for me. With Geet Sethi, Prakash Padukone, Leander
Paes & Viren Rasquinha involved in this project can't think of
anything that will be missing. I would pick any athlete they picked
because of the complete trust these names inspire. I wish OGQ the very
best and look forward to being a TV partner for this initiative! 'It
takes 6 grams of gold to lift the worth of a nation' is
truly an inspirational motto for OGQ and conveys the sentiment of what
this country feels about getting an Olympic medal. |

When
I joined Olympic Gold Quest in 2008 it was just before the Beijing
Olympics and I wasn't sure whether my quest for a gold medal would be
fulfilled in China. It wasn't and critics had pulled me down. But it
was my family and Olympic Gold Quest that kept faith in me. With their
unflinching support results were not too far... I shot the World
record score of 600/600 in the World Cup Finals in Bangkok the same
year and succeeded with two more Gold medals in 2009. The performances
have raised the bar of expectations and am happy to fulfil the faith
reposed on me... But a few more strides to go for that 'giant leap'
onto the Olympic podium. Am sure with the constant support,
appreciation and encouragement from OGQ I shall be able to achieve
what will be a small step by an Indian, but a giant leap for my
country men! |

The
OGQ is an idea Indian sport was waiting for, yet it could never happen
because of manner in which our sport was run. The programme is
supported by some of India's finest sportsmen, due to both athletic
achievement and as importantly, their individual integrity. It's
intentions are more than noble, its practices professional and clean. |
