Swapnil Kusale, the shooter who won a bronze medal in the Paris Olympic 2024, received Rs 2 crore prize money by the Maharashtra government after his return to India. However, his father is not too impressed with the cash-prize that Swapnil has got. He cited the Haryana government’s example who tend to give much higher amount to athletes when they go on to win medals.<\/p>\n

Notably, Swapnil, who hails from Kolhapur, bagged a bronze medal in the 50m rifle 3 positions in the French capital in the Olympics earlier this year. The medal was India’s first-ever in this event in history. His father Suresh Kusale on Monday (October 7) said that his son should get Rs 5 crore prize money and a flat in Pune.<\/p>\n

“The Haryana government gives Rs 5 crore to its each (Olympics medal winning) player (Haryana gives Rs 6 crore to a gold medallist, Rs 4 crore to silver medallist, Rs 2.5 crore to bronze winner),” Suresh said while speaking to reporters in Kolhapur.<\/p>\n

“As per a new policy announced by the Maharashtra government, an Olympic bronze medal winner will get Rs 2 crore. Why does the state form such criteria when Swapnil was only the second individual Olympic medal winner from Maharashtra (after wrestler K D Jadhav in 1952) in 72 years?” he asked.<\/p>\n

“However, our government has announced Rs 5 crore for a gold medal winner, Rs 3 crore for a silver medallist and Rs 2 crore for a bronze medallist. Why have such a criteria when only two players from Maharashtra have won individual Olympic medals in so many years?” Suresh Kusale asked.<\/p>\n

“Had I known such an outcome, I would have persuaded him to explore a career in some other sports. Is the amount kept low because Swapnil is from a humble background? Would the reward amount have remained the same if he had been the son of an MLA or a minister?” he said.<\/p>\n

As he continued to list his demands, Suresh Kusale said that the 50-meter-three-position rifle shooting arena in the sport complex in Pune should also be named after his son.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Swapnil should get Rs 5 crore as an award, a flat near Balewadi Sports Stadium so that he could easily commute for practice. Swapnil’s name should be given to the 50-meter-three-position rifle shooting arena,” he said when asked about his demands.<\/p>\n
