What does Sports Kerala have to say to those who will win medals in the state school meet held at Kunnamkalam from today?
Is the reduction of grace marks given for good performance as compensation for study time set aside for training not fully restored yet?
Is it not possible to get a decent government job or a cash award like other states give, even if he comes back with a medal in the Asian Games and not in the school meet?
Or the past ten years in national athletics, which was once the monopoly of Kerala
Have we gone far behind?
Malayalams PT Usha, Shiny Wilson, Binamol, Anilkumar, Lojo David Thotan, Binumon and Anju Bobby George are among the arenas, and you will be shocked if you check the current state of Kerala in Indian athletics. The number of Malayalees who won medals in the National Open Athletics Championship concluded in Bangalore last day is not enough to count the fingers of one hand. It has been a long time since Kerala won a title in the junior, senior and inter-state national meets where they were the overall champions for many years. Even in the national school meets Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh are now collecting medals.
When we examine why this has happened to Kerala, the problems arise, from the time when the grace mark was cut and the sportsmen were sent to street protests to the international medalists tired of going up and down the corridors of the Secretariat for government work.
Classroom for children
AC room for officials
As usual, facilities have been provided in the classrooms of schools in the vicinity for the athletes coming to Kunnamkula for the state sports fair. A situation where children have to sleep with mosquito bites following adding benches and desks. Sports teachers accompanying the children have taken hotel rooms at their own expense. But for the officials of the athletic association and the employees of the education department who are coming to conduct the competition, AC room has been allotted at the government expense.
While giving prominence to sportspersons in national and international sports events, the officials and association officials are still considered here. It has been alleged that the sports meet, which is usually held in the end of November or the first week of December, is being held in October itself for the convenience of the officials. The question has also been raised as to why the athletic association officials are being brought in as officials when there are qualified sports teachers.
