Hoping for fulfilling 2025 after controversial 2024

Despite not-so-very savoury 2024, Indian sports hope for a better 2025
"Time gnaws and wears away; it separates; it flies. And by virtue of separation -- by separating man from his pain or from the object of his pain -- time cures." Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness
Nothing heals better than time. The arrow of time ceaselessly flows towards the future and never stops, binding every event together like a chain. It's this future that usually holds promise and gives us hope. Prediction is a futile exercise but wishing is not. With these thoughts in mind, after a not-so-very savoury 2024, Indian sports would look forward to the year 2025 with lots of hope.
2024 was perhaps one of the worst years in terms of Indian sports and sports administration. The Olympics were a big disappointment where India managed only six medals, out of which three came in shooting and two by Manu Bhaker. Badminton and boxing, the two sports that had given medals at the previous Olympics fired blanks. In fact, boxing seemed clueless as to what to do. It was a disaster. Wrestling was in a mess. Shooting and athletics were bright spots. Despite no dearth in funding and facilities, athletes in some disciplines flattered to deceive. Hope for a new life in 2025.
