Randeep Hooda and Jay Patel sponsor Vishwaraj Jadeja who will be representing India at the World Cup 2022 for long track speed skating

Fortune favours the brave and in this case, it has favored India’s first-ever skater, Vishwaraj Jadeja who will be representing India at the World Cup 2022. Vishwaraj comes from a family who are rich in sports with various medals and trophies won by them at a National level. Growing up watching them, Vishwaraj decided to walk on the same route. It is sad to say this but Vishawaraj took up a sport that had very little scope in a country that breathes and lives cricket. He did not stop but kept on shifting his bases from Ahmedabad to Denmark, to the Netherlands, and to the Himalayas. He toiled hard over the years to work on the skill that made him secure an elongated list of trophies and have his name in the book of records. 

Supporting the pride of our nation and one in a billion, Bollywood’s finest and who is also called as the Biopic Man, Randeep Hooda comes ahead to support Vishwaraj along with an entrepreneur and philanthropist Jay Patel. 

The Biopic man of Bollwood has always been intrigued towards sports and the environment. Being an equestrian himself, Randeep has won the silver medal in the National Equestrian Championship in 2019 and many medals at different levels . He has also shared his desire to represent India at an international level someday. 

Randeep and Jay feel proud enough to recognize and sponsor a talent who is also the pride of India. Randeep who is also an athlete himself has a strong point that he has kept forward. He has observed how athletes are only supported during a Commonwealth or an Olympic season. He is happy to see people celebrating their win but is also upset with how the sustainability just doesn’t remain the same. Randeep wishes to change that.

 

 In a country, where glamour and attention are diverted towards cricket, it's good to see celebrities come forward and helping introduce & promote sports such as speed skating, ice skating, snowboarding etc

Randeep has given his monetary support to Jadeja along with Jay Patel and wishes not to disclose the amount. 

In an exclusive conversation with us, Randeep shares , When I heard his inspirational story and his achievements, fighting a lone battle to put India on the world map for this sport, Jay and I felt that we must help him further his dream for our country. I wish him to reach that zenith of his sport and inspire others on the way. I also feel more and more people should come and support sports and sportsman, if they can and not leave all upto the government.

Jadeja has represented India over 200 times and has over 65 national records. The list of his achievements continues but his journey is no less than an inspiring one. 

Currently, Jadeja has been trained by coach Wim Nieuwenhuizen who agreed to coach him looking at his passion towards the sport and the fire in his belly, to make India proud.
