Game Time: What looking for Usain Bolt in a Kambala jockey says about Indian sports
In this past week, atleast two Kambala jockeys, including Srinivasa Gowda, made the news for apparently ‘breaking’ Usain Bolt’s 100m world record. In this episode, Gaurav Bhatt and Nihal Koshie breakdown the entire incident (from Gowda’s overnight stardom to him being offered to take part in athletic trails), discuss why this discredits the current Indian sports system and what is perhaps the only silver lining about all this.
