Mangaluru, Oct 10: Lavina Rodrigues, a talented athlete who won a number of medals in masters games in state and national level is selected to participate in the upcoming World Masters Game - 2021. But constraints have denied her possibilities of participating in the big event which is scheduled to be held at Kansai, Japan from May 14 to 30, 2021.

After considering the performance of the athletes in the recently held 3rd National Masters Games-2020 which was held at Vadodara, the national master's games federation selection committee finalized Lavina’s name and sent her the confirmation letter and asked to participate in the international event.

Lavina has bagged a total of three silver and one gold medals in state level championship. She secured one gold, two silver medals in national level championship. 200m, 400m and 1500m are her favourite sprint events and for the past four years she has been continuously winning medals in these events. She contested in the nation-level competitions paying from her own resources.

Now, the World Master Games has opened the gates to Lavina. It is the reward for her hard work and remarkable performance in the recently held national and international championships. Now she eagerly awaits the championship which is hosted in Japan. Being a mother of two children and house maker, it is not affordable for her to pay the entry fee and travel expenses. Sprint items are always more expensive. Her husband has spent many lac for her training and qualifier championships and now he is also facing financial problems. He also wants his wife to participate in the event and seeks financial assistance to realize her dream.

Lavina requests all generous readers to kindly help to make her dream a reality.

She hopes makes it to this mega event and also hoping to go through it with excellence. Wishing her the best and generous financial aid from sports lovers.

    What a shame that despite reserving so many crores for sports from the budget the funds don't reach the lower levels. Why can't MP/MLAs get help from the sports ministry for our needy athletes ?

    Speaking in Goa recently, Indian sports minister Kiren Rijiju said the Central government will ask each state and Union Territory to identify sports for their potential, for which "hundred per cent funding" will be provided. Citing old texts, Rijiju said sports used to be part of the Indian way of life.

    "From the day one, our government tried to work out certain mechanisms so that India becomes a sporting powerhouse. The prime minister has constituted a Olympics Task Force committee. I have started taking decisions to have major changes and reforms within my ministry. You will see the results in times to come," he said.

    In the present scenario, it gives us a doubt that, either the athlete does not know the promise of the minister or the minister promised was just a jhumla.
