[1] Shiva Keshavan has always found his path strewn with adversities but it seems the tide is finally turning in his favour as he has landed an opportunity to train with the world-class US national luge team in the run-up to his fifth Winter Olympic appearance.
“I’ll be training with the highly advanced US luge team in the run-up to the (2014) Sochi Games but before that I need to sign an MoU with them. Everything has been finalised as my talks with them are at an advanced stage and we are in the process of finalising the agreement,” Keshavan said on his return to the country from Europe.
“I will be soon travelling to the US to plan out my training programme. The idea is to get enough exposure before setting off to defend my Asian title and compete in the nine World Cups later this year,” said the ‘fastest Indian on ice’.
Keshavan also said that he was engaged in an active discussion with a leading Indian company, a pioneer in the research and development (R&D) field, to provide him with advanced scientific training and equipment.
