Recently, according to a report by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of India, since the Rio Olympic Games in 2016, the Indian Ministry of Sports has invested 11.6965 billion rupees (about $160 million) in athletes in order to achieve the "Tokyo Olympic Strategy", which is mainly used for national training camps, overseas training and training, coaching and support personnel salaries, domestic competitions, equipment consumables, coaching, referee and technical officer development, and administrative expenditure. In addition, the Ministry of Sport provides additional safeguards and support specifically for athletes who are expected to reach the Olympic podium.
At the 2012 London Olympic Games, the Indian delegation won 2 silver and 4 bronze medals, a record high. To this end, before the Rio Olympics, the Indian Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports set a goal of "10+ medals" for the Indian delegation, but in the end India only won 1 silver and 1 bronze. After the fiasco, India increased its investment in sports, and at the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Ministry of Sports once again issued a "10+ medal" death order for the delegation. Just last week, India's Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Rigiju, launched the Central Athletes' Injury Management System, a first initiative by the ministry to streamline sports medicine and rehabilitation support for Olympic athletes.
But on the 18th, the Indian sports industry suffered a major blow, known as the "flying Sikh" Indian legendary sprinter Mirha Singh, last month after contracting the new crown virus complications, more than a month after fighting unfortunately died at the age of 92. It is worth mentioning that Singer's wife also died of the new crown virus on June 13 at the age of 85.
Singer was the first Indian athlete to win an individual gold medal in athletics at the Commonwealth Games, winning the 440-yard (about 402.3m) title in 1958. At the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, Singh finished fourth in the 400 meters, which made him a hero for the whole of India. Based on his true experience, the film "Soul Runner" has won dozens of honors in India: at the 59th Indian Film Audience Awards, it won 6 awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent condolences to Singh on social media, "We have lost a great athlete who captured the imagination of the whole country and holds a special place in the hearts of countless Indians." His inspiring personality is loved by millions of people, and we grieve for his passing. ”
According to the latest data released by the Indian health department on the 18th, in the past 24 hours, there were 62,480 new confirmed cases of new coronavirus in India, with a cumulative total of 29762793 confirmed cases. According to India Today reported on June 17, a number of private laboratories responsible for the testing of the new crown virus during the "Big Pot Festival" in India were investigated, because according to a survey report, during the new crown epidemic, some people only filled in the report data of the new crown test with false names and addresses, and some people who were included in the new crown test samples of the "Big Pot Festival" in Heldval City had never even been to The City of Heldval. At present, Arjun Singh, india's health official in charge of health during the "Big Pot Festival", has formed a commission of inquiry and said that it will investigate the misconduct of the relevant laboratories, and "some laboratories have made tables of erroneous data." We are investigating the matter and will act accordingly on the Committee's recommendations. ”

For the exposure of this scandal, Indian netizens were angry, and some netizens said: "Everything in India is fake, and counterfeiting is the joke of our country." Some netizens also said: "Is there a bigger scam on the earth than the falsification of new coronavirus test results?" This is why India suffered the peak of the second round of the new crown epidemic, which is a man-made disaster. Some netizens thought, "This is a crime!" In an interview with News18, Tiras Singh Rawat, chief minister of India's Utakhand state, said, "This is not a simple corruption case, but a serious crime related to the health of believers." ”
