London: Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, on Sunday, promised continued support to medal prospects for the 2022 Asian and Commonwealth Games even though the focus has now shifted to 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

"Earlier the funding for these players used to be stopped but we are changing it.
It is a big challenge for me that the funding for the medal prospects for the next Asian Games, Commonwealth Games continues.
I am trying my best, talking to corporates who are passionate about sports to raise funds," he said.
Rathore assured that there will be no bureaucracy from the Ministry's side and no call for help will go unanswered.
