Former Asian Games gold medallist Ronjan Sodhi stated that India's goal of winning 30-40 medals at the 2036 Olympics, which it is bidding to host, remains distant. India has yet to achieve double-digit medals at a single Olympics, with its best being seven at Tokyo 2020. Sodhi emphasized the need for early talent identification, improved infrastructure, coaching, equipment, and job security for athletes to meet global standards and support Olympic success.
