Indian sports news and discussion

[Guest]

TV Commentators were having field day on 1.2 Billion Indian people and 6-7 medals in last 4 Olympics.
They were comparing with China. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Like everything else in India, sports are also most neglected area. China Babus did amazing thing, they had pride and love for country. In India, its all about minister and Babus tantrums comes first and rest goes to hell.

Titbit :
I know a Delhi, later UP swimming champion and his timing was better than national level but to get to compete in national level whole series of bribe comes into play. To compete abroad, babu will pick coach who will be his friend or relative etc etc and without paying babu no movement. On paper he had received 4-5 years of scholarship for studies, practice fee, special diet fund and Coach Fee. But, in reality he never saw single paisa. So babus had funded his wife shopping or alcohol or whatever.

Not sure how is situation now.

Those who make it to Olympic, I salute them.
