Star Sports faced Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s ire as the veteran actor didn’t find India’s first woman gymnast Dipa Karmakar on TV who qualified for the vaults final which will be held on August 14.
In India, Star Sports is telecasting the Olympic competitions, but they are not an official broadcaster of competition as a result and channel is receiving the feed from the official broadcaster.
At Star Sports , those avidly followed the Gymnastic competitions have seen Dipa twice during her attempts. Probably, Amitabh Bachchan missed that two attempts of Dipa.
Only Brazilian and German gymnast were in focus because they were competing as a team as superb at their attempts in other events. At Floor exercise, German and Brazilian made the event a like a dancing programme, but they never miss the vaults and somersaults.
Here are what Amitabh Bachchan tweeted…
