Chief national doubles coach Tan Kim Her believes Indian shuttlers are capable of not only qualifying in all the three doubles events but also win medals at 2020 Olympics if they are given more time and exposure at the international level.
“We have to start planning for 2020 Olympics. It is not a one or two years plan, it is a four year plan. So I have to think about the combinations and players available and have to consider a lot of things and develop a back-up for 2020 and 2024 Olympics,” Kim Her told PTI on the sidelines of the Syed Modi Grand Prix Gold tournament here.
“I want to qualify in all three events, not just men’s doubles or women’s doubles and I just don’t want them to participate but to win medals. That is my ambition. I always believed nothing is impossible. In Olympics, it is all about soaking the pressure. You can see even in Rio, so many top players who were expected to win medals, crumbled under pressure,” he said.
