Goa's AIBA certified International Technical Officer (ITO) and vice-president of Goa Boxing Association, Lenny D'Gama has been reportedly appointed as the only evaluator from Asia to be a part of this year's Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.
This is indeed a proud moment for Goans as Lenny D'Gama (who is former Boxer himself from the village of Saligao) has been silently working for the upliftment and to raise the standard of boxing since the last many decades in Goa.
Unfortunately, our sports minister, whilst addressing media at the Secretariat was heard referring the name of Lenny D'Gama as Mr Gomes to congratulate him for his recent achievements on behalf of the Goa government. Another confusion was with the word 'Evaluator' and refereeing when D'Gama's actual job will be to evaluate the referees/judges as per their performance in the ring
Being a sports minister, Ajgaonkar should definitely know the simple basics of sports.
