The day before Gopi's announcement, Nepal was added to the list of countries with no formal athletics competition in the previous five years. This indicates that in the last five years, the Athletics Association has been unable to host any official competition in Nepal. Furthermore, Nepal's involvement in international events has begun to decline.

Gopichandra Parki, one of the Nepalese athletes on the list to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, had a devastating situation last Thursday. Only Gopi could have imagined how devastating it would have been to know that he would be unable to compete in the Olympics when the Olympics, which had been postponed for a year due to Covid-19 is near. But who is the major perpetrator in this issue, who will handle it, why should the sports guardianship not be notified about what happened, why is the Ministry of Sports still mute, and other similar questions are being asked in the sports market.

Despite the fact that Gopi's name is not on the list for the Olympics, National Sports Council's member secretary Ramesh Silwal has signed it, deceiving the players until the last minute, and it's time to see who has more grounds to derail an athlete's ambition of competing in the Olympics. Several announcements were made that several organizations have come out against Gopi, claiming that he will be barred from competing in the Olympics. National Sports Council has kept silent while addressing on behalf of the players. Why is Ramesh Silwal, who is ready to take over the Olympics' Save the Mission mission, so quiet? To find out what happened, he does not need to submit a letter to the person in charge of sports.

The day before Gopi's announcement, Nepal was added to the list of countries with no formal athletics competition in the previous five years. This indicates that in the last five years, the Athletics Association has been unable to host any official competition in Nepal. Furthermore, Nepal's involvement in international events has begun to decline.

When the federation was unable to compete in the selection of competitors for the Tokyo Olympics, there was debate regarding which competition to use. As The Nepal Olympic Committee was on the line to give official status to the Pokhara Marathon, they awarded official status to the Nepalgunj Marathon because it was the association's first job to pick athletes, and it was predicted that Gopi would win the tournament and compete in the Olympics.

He did not, however, participate in the Olympic solidarity course. The Olympic Committee arranged for him to be sent to Japan for further support and training after he failed to attend the monthly course that might earn him $500 as a monthly stipend but nothing happened as per the commitment given to him making the covid pandemic an excuse.

But it has been more than a year since the Olympic marathon was selected. What are Gopi's possibilities, given his time and the time allocated for the Olympics, but why did he dream of the Olympics in his mind? If Gopi is unable to compete in the Olympics, a choice must be taken as to which type of athlete is suitable to compete. But, in the end, the three sports organizations attempted to ignore the situation. The council, the Olympic Committee, and the Athletics Association, according to experts, are all equally to blame. As a result, all three bodies are now under pressure to cover up previous mistakes. They recognize that a mistake has been made and that correcting it is tough, thus the same bodies are now speaking the same language.

This is due to technical issues, not their own fault, as to why they chose not to correct what they already knew.

To correct Gopi's situation, all three bodies have called him and informed him that he will play in the World Championship or any other competition directly and that he will remain silent for the time being. But now condition due to covid is such that the competitions have not been held on time. It is not certain that Gopi will be able to play in the tournament if he stays silent following their assurance.

Not only that but there is a time constraint for competing in the World Championships; the selection period for the 2019 World Championships in Doha was shortened by three minutes to two hours and 16 minutes. Gopi currently has two hours, 18 minutes, and 59 seconds for a marathon. In this situation, Gopi's faith in assurance is called into question. In the current situation, other assurances he has received are likewise hard to ascertain. Gopi himself has no idea when those competitions will take place or how Gopi will perform at that time.

It has become impossible to speak with other athletes who are training for the Olympics since this incident became public. On Sunday morning, when I attempted to enter with the video camera to report on the shooting player, I was unable to do so simply. By claiming that the other required permission, one was perplexing the other. That was not the case previously. Now it is clear that the athletes' efforts are not valued in Nepali sports, since the body charged with finding the wrong body and exposing the truth is hiding and not functioning well.
