The Indian state of Haryana has just honored four of the countries Olympic medalists from this year’s London games each with the gift of a brand new Audi Q5 SUV.
DLF, the country’s largest realty firm and sponsor of a number of countrywide sporting events ranging from the Indian Premier League to golf, worked in collaboration with the government of Haryana to celebrate the achievement of the Indian Olympic medalists.
Wrestlers Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt, Saina Nehwal of badminton and shooter Gagan Narang were all honored with their new rides for bringing home silver and bronze medals in the world’s largest sporting event.
In total, India took home two silver and four bronze at this year’s Olympic games.
With much respect, the Indian government and DLF also wanted to honor the Haryana born athletes who competed in the games, but were unable to get a medal with the not so luxurious Special Edition Suzuki SX4 sedans, but still, a notable gift.
The keys were presented earlier this week by Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda at a ceremony in Gohana, Sonipat.
