India, Oct. 22 -- Contd from P1 Fresh from his historic double gold at the ongoing Asian Para Games, Nishad Kumar is celebrating a personal milestone. But the 27-year-old para-athlete knows that sporting glory doesn't always bring the recognition it deserves. With fans on social media questioning the limited television coverage of the Asian Para Games compared to the recently concluded Asian Games, Nishad says he has learnt to look beyond the attention: "When you are standing on that podium, looking at the Tiranga waving high, nothing matters anymore! You do not care who is talking about you and who is not. All you think about is that you have achieved what you wanted to." But he admits that the lack of recognition for para-athletes once affected him deeply. "It used to hurt me, bother me, that why do we still have to fight for attention and recognition even though we are winning a huge number of medals for India; be it at the Paralympics, Asian Para Games or more. It does nothing but affect your mental health, and that affects my game. So now I focus on myself. What is not in my control should be taken care of by the administration and concerned authorities. I have stopped thinking about it."...
