Rs 50000000 and a flat: Paris Olympics 2024 medallist’s father makes HUGE demands

The daddy of Paris Olympics 2024 shooting bronze medallist Swapnil Kusale has expressed disappointment over the Maharashtra government paying Rs 2 crore prize money to his son, saying Haryana doles out a lot higher amount for its athletes. Swapnil Kusale (29), who hails from Kolhapur, won a bronze medal in 50 m rifle Three positions event on the Paris Olympics in August.

His father Suresh Kusale on Monday said his son should get Rs 5 crore prize money and a flat near the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Sports Complex in Balewadi, Pune.

Chatting with reporters in Kolhapur, Suresh Kusale claimed, “The Haryana government gives Rs 5 crore to its each (Olympics medal winning) player (Haryana gives Rs 6 crore to a gold medallist, Rs Four crore to silver medallist, Rs 2.5 crore to bronze winner).”
