Baba Ramdev to train Indian archers for Rio Games :- Be it the 2012 London Olympics or the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, Indian archers buckled under pressure. And Archery Association of India (AAI) president Vijay Kumar Malhotra has approached none other than Baba Ramdev to conduct yoga sessions with the archers. "We have realised that our archers need yoga sessions in order to become mentally strong during intense competitions. This, I feel, will help our archers win medals at the Rio Olympics next year," Malhotra said on Tuesday. dna has learnt that many senior archers, including Deepika Kumari, requested the AAI to hold yoga lessons. "Yoga can be of immense help to any archer because it will certainly help us becoming mentally tough," Kumari said. Her teammate, Rimil Buriuly, who was part of the squad that won the silver at the recent World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, welcomed the idea of getting Ramdev on board. "If Baba Ramdev is going to train us, then nothing like it," Buriuly said. He also plans to ask Ramdev to do everything for free. "AAI doesn't have funds. The government has suspended us." Kumari's coach, Dharmendra Tiwari, said, "Archery is a mental game and I feel yoga can help our archers become mentally stronger," he said. http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report-baba-ramdev-to-train-indian-archers-for-rio-games-2111201 ravi www.keralites.net
