GYMNASTICS<\/h4>\n

South Korean coach Kim Jaechul likely to be appointed as India\u2019s artistic gymnastics head coach<\/b><\/p>\n

Renowned South Korean coach Kim Jaechul is likely to be appointed as India\u2019s artistic gymnastics head coach with its national federation GFI awaiting clearance from the Sports Authority of India (SAI).<\/p>\n

Jaechul, who has played a key role in developing several generations of South Korean gymnasts, has been identified by the Gymnastics Federations of India (GFI) to oversee the training of India\u2019s junior and senior artistic gymnasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had written to SAI seeking to appoint him from November this year on a six months to one-year contract, but we are yet to receive a response,\u201d GFI treasurer Kaushik Bidiwala told PTI.<\/p>\n

A SAI source, however, indicated that the federation\u2019s proposal is likely to receive the nod after Jaechul impressed during a trial stint in Bhubaneswar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had invited him for a trial in Bhubaneswar and the feedback has been very positive. In all likelihood, we will appoint him,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

Jaechul has served as men\u2019s national artistic gymnastics coach and manager back home in South Korea, besides working with the country\u2019s reserve squads. He has also been associated with the organisation of major international events, including the Asian Gymnastics Championships.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s artistic gymnastics squad recently completed a three-week SAI-funded training camp in London ahead of the Commonwealth Games and is currently in Glasgow for the multi-sporting event. The camp concluded on July 20.<\/p>\n

If appointed, Jaechul is expected to take charge after the Asian Games, to be held in Aichi and Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he is appointed, he will oversee the training of both junior and senior gymnasts after a proper selection process. Only the best performers, both men and women, will be selected for the national camp,\u201d Bidiwala said.<\/p>\n

India had previously appointed Russian coach Vladimir Chertkov ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Under his guidance, Ashish Kumar became the country\u2019s first gymnast to win medals at both the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games.<\/p>\n
