The coaches' awards will be distributed after an enquiry is done in the matter.

    Sakshi, Deepa named their coaches

    After the proposal to reward the coaches of the medal winners at Rio Games was announced, many people came up and claimed to be bronze medalist Sakshi Malik's coach. However, in an affidavit given to the Haryana government, Sakshi named Mandeep Singh as her coach. Paralympic games silver medal winner Deepa Malik said that it was her husband who coached her.

    I give maximum credit to my husband: Deepa Malik

    Speaking on the controversy, Deepa Malik said, "My coaching was done by my husband. He took a sabbatical from his job. He studied the loopholes in my technique and put his sports knowledge to use. I give maximum credit to my husband."
