True champions are not always the one\u2019s that win, but those with the most guts. \u2013 Mia Hamm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard work, perseverance and a lot of confidence and strength is needed to accomplish and be a part of the success story that we tell. A true champion is a person who always believes in himself when no one else does and never loses sight of his goal even when the surroundings are blurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we step into the new Olympic and Paralympic cycle for Paris 2024, one of the key milestones in the journey is the upcoming\u00a02022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, UK from 28th<\/sup> July \u2013 8th<\/sup> August.\u00a0India is sending a strong contingent of 215 athletes in 16 sports.\u00a0Out of these, the\u00a022\u00a0athletes\u00a0in\u00a0wrestling, badminton, boxing, weightlifting, javelin, table-tennis and para-weight lifting, are supported by OGQ \u2013 <\/strong>Avashya Foundation\u2019s proud partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 2018 CWG, 19 of the 66 medals for India were won by athletes supported by OGQ, including 11 of the 26 Gold medals won by India. At the 2022 CWG in Birmingham, Shooting is not included and thus we expect some reduction in India’s overall medal tally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the key medal contenders for 2022 CWG are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Olympain wresters Ravi Kumar, Anshu Malik, Deepak Punia<\/li>
