The senior National
championship for the 2015-16 was delayed and lastly it was held from 7th to 10th
April 2016. At Chandigarh
This year in national players were given good result
From Odisha this year
one team consists of champions of the state were participated.Unfortunately
three girls who were serving in the AG office were not participated and we could not able to replace
them as at last moment they were withdrawn from the championship.What I found
they are not serious for the state badminton.We could have sent alternate players
for the championship if they could have intimated us much earlier.
In women section only Miss Rutaparna participated and lost in second round
In men section we have again put ourselves in a miserable condition.In Mens singles event
Mr Gurbakhs Sing of
AG and Mr Soumen of Rourkela lost to
very unseeded players
In Mens Doubles the defending champion of our state Mr.Kamal
Das and Mr Promod Rana lost miserably from Taminadu players
Is this our badminton ?
For the last 39years after Late Sanat Mishra, not a single player
of Odisha did not able to cross
prequarter final and if I am correct not even second round in National championships.
Only last two years junior boys and girls made some mark by
reaching qurterfinal in national/Zonal Championships Last year Miss Rutaparna
Panda got bronze at Cochin U17 ranking championship from qualifying round but lost due to lack of
consistency in next championship at Dehradoon
The seniorplayers were never come up to the expectation because internal intetolerance among them to lead the state in national Badminton arena.
The Players are more interested to play prize money
tournaments which results no constant partnership
among them and affects the result of
state in national and zonal championships.We have supported them for the game
and regulated by registering the
championships with some regulations but some seniorpayers defied indirectly
with support of organizers and created
an indifferent environment for badminton
where there is no growth nor ambition to
lead the state in Nationals.
Our players suceed in their
departmental championships but not in the nationals. WHY???????????
Players were encouraged by organizers to play in lower
groups by manipulating their age but their success could not able to get them a
placement in state/central departments
due to manipulation of age.
Whose
fault?????????????Who are responsible
for spoiling the players carrier by their wroung advice????????????
Is our organizers and players ever analysed the reasons for these result?
My request to players think big to achieve which will fulfil the
ambitions of their as well as people of our state
Also to the organizers to think beyond their entertainment badminton to a competitive badminton environment which will give a growth to players and simulteneously they
get the entertainment.
I invite suggestions from players as
well as organisors/badminton lovers for growth of badminton in our state in coming years by email to shuttleodisha
