India’s unprecedented failure to make it to the Olympics might have raised hue and cry, but the International Hockey Federation has assured the debacle would not affect their chances of hosting the 2010 World Cup.
Though the entire country sunk into depression after India, for the first time in 80 years, failed to book a berth in the Beijing Olympics, FIH-appointed Project Director of ‘Promoting Indian Hockey,’ Bob Davidzon said the defeat in Chile provided a chance to rebuild the game in the country.
Davidzon also assured that India’s failure to reach the Beijing Olympics would not make them ineligible to host the prestigious World Cup in two year’s time.
It’s a relief that after the Hockey team’s early exit in the Olympics, India still has a chance to host the 2010 world cup. This piece of good news was brought to me by NDTV 24×7. You too can know all about India through NDTV 24×7. What’s more, it’s available in US through DirecTV.
