Hero boost for Keshavan

 New Delhi: Just days before featuring in his sixth Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, India's top luger Shiva Keshavan got a morale booster as he was assured by his sponsors — Hero Electronix and Hero FinCorp, part of the $10 billion Hero Group — of their continued support which will help him prepare for the Games.

The two brands, which have been supporting Shiva for the last couple of years as he participated and won several medals at the international level, will continue to support Keshavan.

Shiva said, "I want to thank Hero Electronix as well as Hero FinCorp. If it were not for the support of my sponsors and well-wishers, I would not be doing what I am doing right now.

In the 1998 Winter Olympics, he became the youngest person to ever officially qualify for the Olympic Games in luge. The ensuing edition of the Winter Olympics will be held from February 9 to 25.
