Who,is responsible. Central givernment mustbtake concerned officials to task.this is one reason why our people are nit performimg. System requires over alling. Plesse change the ailing system
Why again there is so hue & cry. We all know duties of our administrators. All were enjoying hospitality of Rio. Nobody is bothered about sports. What is the sports credential of Mr. Vijay Goel. Yes he is playing politics since so many years, so he is given sports minister job. why he is not resigning now. Hats of to china, they won so many medals but still they were not satisfied with their performance & we are celebrating our two medals. we are like that only & we will remain like that only. hats off to officials for their usual apathic behavior towards athletes.Hats off to corrupt politics, they are meant only to ruin national interest.
Heads must roll from top after this incident. Ask other countries who,s athletes participated, how they managed their stalls with water and energy drinks.

you are disliking it because the Indian government ant its completely failed.From the last two Olympics the medals have come down because of this governments negative attitude of building the infrastructure. What ever achievements here and there attained by the athletes is 100% their credit.

Arun, Please respect her. She was indeed not given drink and she got exhausted. Not every one there got awards but they deserve the respect. It apathy of our Indian contingent who accompanied these player who were busy in enjoyment rather than fulfilling their duty. I saw her on the TV, the was severely dehydrated when she reached Final post. :(
When we play local gully cricket, we take water bottles with us. Look at these pathetic people, that too going to represent at international olympics, NO water bottle or energy drinks for players..I'm sure officials from AFI will not run for 50 metres without water nor they know rules of the game :)
