Attri said that though his father is an athletics coach, he let him choose badminton over&nbsp; track and field events.
&ldquo;Qualification is the first step towards living my father&rsquo;s dream of representing&nbsp; my country at the Olympics. That in turn became my dream and today I am so close to fulfilling it.
&ldquo;I take it as a responsibility and would want to win a medal for my dad,&rdquo; said men&rsquo;s double World No 21 Attri on the sidelines of a felicitation ceremony organised by his employers, Indian Oil in Bandra yesterday.
