Shiva Keshavan, the first Indian representative to compete in luge at the Winter Olympics, is aiming to build an academy to nurture talented youngsters and is in talks with a couple of state governments.
"My idea is to have a residential complex with all the multi-sports facilities and since (it will be) in the mountains, we will have access to the ski area, ice hockey," Keshavan told reporters here.
"It can be built over time. So, I'm speaking to a couple of state governments to give a little bit of land or get some sponsors (involved in it)."
Asked if he believed that India could win a medal in Winter Olympics, he said: "100 per cent. I could have won a medal if I had a coach few years before, by the end of it I was (just) 6/10th of a second behind. It is possible"
