Runner Jaisha

OP Jaisha has accused the sports officialdom of neglect and not providing food or water during the grueling marathon she ran at Rio Olympics

The controversy stoked by marathon runner OP Jaisha took an interesting turn with her personal coach Nikolai Snesarev today asserting that she herself had said no when asked by him if she would need personalised refreshment during the race in the Rio Olympics.

Sports Minister Vijay Goel has set up a two-member committee to investigate the allegation of athlete OP Jaisha that Indian officials were not present to give her refreshments as she ran the marathon at the Rio Olympics.

While running the marathon at the Rio Olympics, OP Jaisha encountered a series of unstaffed Indian desks - which meant there was nobody to give her water or refreshments in blistering heat.
