The Prime Minister also boosted the morale of the defeated players. He said that those who could not win medals need not worry about losing, rather they should think about what new things they learned in this competition, what new experiences they gained and with these experiences, they have to prepare for the future. Modi said that sports have two aspects, defeat and victory, there is no need to be disappointed in this, you have come carrying the country’s flag and have brought a lot of personal experiences from there which will be useful for you in the future.
