Paris Olympics: Ashwini Criticises Padukone's 'player Responsibility' Remark After Lakshya's Loss
Lee Zii Jia: Indian shuttler Ashwini Ponnappa criticised badminton legend Prakash Padukone over his remarks regarding "player responsibility" after Lakshya Sen missed out on a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Ponnappa in her Instagram story, expressed her disappointment at what she perceived as an unfair allocation of blame towards players. She questioned why only players were being held accountable for failures, while coaches, who play a critical role in preparation and strategy, were not similarly scrutinised.
"Disappointing to see this," Ponnappa wrote in her Instagram story. "If a player wins, everyone jumps on the bandwagon to take credit, and if they lose, it's just the player's fault?! Why aren't coaches held responsible for lack of preparation and getting the player ready? They are the first ones to take credit for wins; why not take responsibility for their players' losses as well?"
