Its heartening to note that people still have confidence on the Indian contingent for Olympics. But I doubt whether the membes are really serious about winning medals. This is in line with the disastrous performance by Indians in the first couple of days. Most of them stated that they are in Athens for gaining experience and not winning medals. If such is the case then the government should redifine their strategies before sending any person to the Olympics. Taxpayers' money are spent for groomimg these people and they come back empty handed getting last positions in most of the events.
I feel that Indian olampic squad wil bring home atleast 3 medals(one each gold, silver, bronze). one in shooting,one in long jump and one in Tennis. I wish every success to all members. God bless them.
RE:What happened to Jaspal Rana??

The sport that Jaspal Rana Specialises in is not a part of Olympics just like cricket, chess, billiards where we are world champs but it is not part of olympics.
I don't know why people in India choose to play in such sports when it is not going to bring anything for the nation !!
We need to congratulate our Athens bound contingent for the hard work they have put in to get themselves qualified for the forthcoming Olympics. They will be competing against the best in the world. We wish them well in their efforts.
