PUNE: Ever since the Khelo India Youth Games were flagged off a little over a week ago in the Maharashtrian city, teams of talent spotters have been at work at the various venues. They have been brought in by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) in relays to track performances in their assigned events and present a short list of those found worthy of following on a long-term basis.
With the government having set up the Target Olympics scheme, the Youth Games are being looked at as a feeder for the larger pool that is looking at the Tokyo Games and beyond.
