World Champion Loh Kean Yew: After Lakshya Sen made Olympic Games history for India by reaching the men's singles semifinals on Friday, former India hockey captain Viren Rasquinha took to social media to say he was delighted to see the boy whom he has been supporting since he was 10 make history.

Rasquinha is the CEO of the Olympic Gold Quest, which was set up by badminton legend Prakash Padukone and billiards ace Geet Sethi to support budding talent. OGQ has been supporting Lakshya from a very young age and as CEO, Rasquinha has played a key role in this association.

"Been supporting this boy since he was 10 years old. So proud that at the age of 22, he has now become the first Indian Men’s Badminton player to reach the semifinals of the Olympics. Keep going @lakshya_sen," said Rasquinha in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
