‘Indian athletics kits not up to int’l standard’
India’s 400-metre female sprinter Ashwini Akkunji has claimed the kits provided to Indian athletes are not up to international standards. Akkunji added that “even countries like Kenya had better kits for their sportspersons.” Earlier, the Indian hockey team had reportedly skipped the opening ceremony because of “improper, ill-fitting” kits provided by the Indian Olympic Association.
