Results at a competition cannot be the only denominator when planning for an Olympic Games or an Asian Games," he added.Kamath said: "There should be a deep engagement with the process and to understand not just results but objectives and results connected with the objectives that you are seeking."Bindra also stressed on the need to build a strong talent identification and nurturing programme."Getting foundations right is important, a lot of work on that has already been started with the Khelo India programme and also emphasis placed on junior programme of different sports," he said.Speaking about how he sees Indian sport emerging after the current coronavirus pandemic subsides, Bindra said, "The post-Covid world could be a blessing in disguise for India. There may not be so much foreign exposure and this may allow India to build proper sporting infrastructure. We need to build our own coaches and our own support staff."( With inputs from ANI )
