Vancouver’s Indo-Canadian community has rallied to provide funding and uniforms for India’s three-man Winter Olympics team, local press reports say.
The owner of a sports shop donated track suits for the opening ceremonies, saying the rush was on to get the Indian flag embroidered onto the gear.
And a local Punjabi radio station is raising funds for the team – made up of a luger and two skiers.
TJ Johal, the owner of Sports Unlimited in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey, told public broadcaster CBC that he was shocked to hear the team did not have proper uniforms for the opening ceremonies.
“My first reaction was, you’re kidding me. They’re from India, the land of clothing, and they have no clothes to wear? But that’s just how it is in Third World countries,” he said.
