Bhutan Olympic Committee supports year-long training for athletes in Thailand

With funding support from Continental Athletes Support Grant, 2022 under the Olympic Solidarity, the Bhutan Olympic Committee has provided two badminton athletes, Anish Gurung (22) and Jimba Sangay Lhendup (20) with a year-long training progamme at Ponsana Badminton Academy in Thailand, in preparation for 14th and 15th South Asian Games.

It is the first time two Bhutanese athletes have ever been sent on a year-long training in preparation for a Games.

The two athletes will receive rigorous training and exposure for international competition. With this, we also wish to motivate aspiring future stars to work hard and strive for excellence through sport.
