However, national camps in preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in select events will continue for the elite athletes.\n<p>Instead of having national coaching camps in three main cities---Bengaluru, Patiala and Thiruvananthapuram\u2014the AFI in future will conduct as many as 20 camps across the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe major decision to decentralize national camps was taken during AFI\u2019s Special General Meeting held virtually on Thursday,\u201d Sumariwalla added. \u201cMore pockets of coaching camps across the country will strengthen the infrastructure and broaden the training base.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to Sumariwalla, who is one of the vice presidents of the World Athletics, modalities to supervise the coaching camps across the country will be chalked out soon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe AFI will constitute a panel that will prepare a draft to oversee the functioning of the camps spread across the nation,\u201d the AFI president said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the AFI will continue to have national camps for elite athletes in seven disciplines mainly javelin (men and women), steeplechase (men and women), jumps (long and triple), throws (men shot put), race walking (both men and women) and 4x400m relay (men and women).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"We have a bright chance of podium in selected disciplines at the Olympic Games. Hence, we don't want to break the rhythm of the core group of athletes in the above seven discipline,\" he added<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Generally, over 100 athletes are shortlisted for the national coaching camps in preparation for major competitions, including Asian Games. However, post decentralization the AFI president believes the number of the athletes selected for the camps will be over 400.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cFor each training center the AFI might select around 50 athletes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The virtual SGM meeting was attended by over 60 officials, including members of the state units. Former international athletes, including Olympian and world bronze medalist, Anju Bobby George, also attended the meeting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to Sumariwalla, majority of those attending virtual meetings were of the view that national coaching camps should be conducted at several venues across the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
