Twelve-time world champion cueist Pankaj Advani feels the government-run TOP Scheme for India’s Olympic medal hopefuls clearly shows how sport is treated unequally in the country.
Advani, who has brought many laurels to the country with his exploits in snooker and billiards, goes on to say that India can improve in the world of sport only if all disciplines are treated at par.
“Personally, it is tough to understand our country’s obsession with Olympics, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. I know they are big events, I know they come once in four years, but just because of this it doesn’t mean they are the be all of sport.
