The game8217;s over

Why he didn8217;t get the ticket: Could not recover in time from the multiple fractures he sustained in a car accident in September 2003. Was included in the list of Olympic probables announced by the IHF and attended a few preparation camps, but practically speaking, never stood a chance to make it to Athens.

What about Beijing: I8217;ll be there for sure. My Olympics dream is not over yet

A word for the qualifiers: There are some good teams in our pool so competition would be quite tough. Moreover, there is this extra pressure on the players when participating in such a big event like Olympics. Also, in my view, there are too many junior players in the side which could prove to be a boon as well as a bane.

It8217;s my misfortune. Getting an 8216;Olympian8217; tag is the dream of every sportsperson. When I was recovering very fast, and was called for the camps, I thought I might be fit by August which sadly didn8217;t happen.
