Make Impact With A Strong Game: PM To Athletes Going For CWG 2022

The current period is in a way the most important period in the history of Indian sports, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday while interacting with the Indian contingent bound for the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022.

PM Modi said that Today, the spirit of players is also high, the training too is getting better and the atmosphere in the country towards sports is also tremendous. All of you are climbing new peaks, making new peaks.

To those who are entering the big international arena for the first time, the Prime Minister said that only the arena has changed but not the spirit and stubbornness for success. 

“The goal is to see the tricolour fluttering, to hear the national anthem being played. That's why don't take the pressure, make an impact with a good and strong game," he added.

The Prime Minister remarked that the athletes are going to the Commonwealth Games at a time when the country is celebrating 75 years of independence and that the athletes will showcase their best performance which will be a gift for the country. 

The PM said that all the athletes have trained well and with the best facilities in the world and urged them to remember the training and rely on willpower. 

Modi further said that what the athletes have achieved is definitely inspiring but they should now aim to create new records and give their best for the country and countrymen.

The CWG 2022 is scheduled to be held in Birmingham from 28 July till 08 August 2022. A total of 215 athletes, participating in 141 events across 19 sporting disciplines, will represent India in the CWG 2022.
