Prime Minister Narendra Modi: As the country celebrates National Sports Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, Olympic bronze medallist shooter Sarabjot Singh recollected the conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi that motivated him to change the colour of a medal in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Sarabjot, along with Manu Bhaker, won a medal in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event. Before the 2024 Paris Olympics, PM Modi interacted with the Indian athletes, assuring a sense of motivation and support for the team. Sarabjot, who won a bronze in shooting at Paris, recalled that the pre-Olympic meeting with the PM was incredibly energising. He said, "I literally had goosebumps hearing his words and felt a great surge of energy to win a medal for the nation!"

After his victory, the Prime Minister personally spoke with the shooter and congratulated him for his achievment. "The conversation with PM Modi gave me even more motivation to aim for a bigger medal at the upcoming Los Angeles Olympics," Sarabjot shared.
