Indian public is dejected a lot and why not !
Our Olympians didn't win much in London, as they thought.
All hopes were on a certain shuttler Saina
But she couldn't beat her tough opponent from China.
The 'medals', people are asking -why weren't brought?
Some will blame the domestic training,
Some will say foreign coaches we should bring.
Media will harp on with special evening shows
And highlight the great Indian lows
Ah! Let T20 games come, you won't remember a thing.

Sigh!
This sarcastically is true Indian story. I am of the opinion that many talented sportsmen and women of different sports go unnoticed in this country where a Ranji player gets more acclaim than a CWG medal winner. Cricket helps the nation engaged in sports and often is a cloak which hides the lack of support for other games, In such cricket-obsessed country, let alone bringing olympic medal, even qualifying is a feat which is done in adverse circumstances.Hats off to those who dare to go in the less-sought sports and excel for India and yet bear the criticism when they fail to finish on podium. The fight they show , i believe, matters more.
Hope things change for the better.

ReplyDeleteI don't thing many would have heard of Vijay Kumar before his heroics at London. Before the olympics Vijay Kumar had won CWG gold(3), Asiad gold and also world championship. Despite such a successful career his accomplishments were not acknowledged by the gov.
