Olympic-bound javelin thrower Kishore Jena says facilities and funding have never been as good as they are right now for India’s athletes, who need to improve their mindset and start considering themselves as good as anyone else in the world.

Jena undertook a 35-day training stint in Gold Coast in Australia from February 5 to March 10, funded by Target Olympics Podium Scheme (TOPS). Speaking to PTI, Jena said he hardly found anything different than for the warmer weather Down Under, which was more conducive for his training.
