Representatatives atleast follow code of conduct. Look arrogant and taking the rules on their own. Indians should politely reject indecent fellows. Discipline is first principle for any achievements.They should atleast follow standards whether they get medal or not is adifferent story. All these guys are making money in the name of country. People should reject decently though they acheive so much if country's respect is at stake.
To all my indians. We don't have good infra structure first of all. Second thing In house no body showing interest in sports. we have lot of latent but in childhood parents are not showing interest in sports always their concentration on studies and entertainment media. Still i believe we have good talent but not coming up because of so many other influence in our life.

We just need to stop complaining. If we can do that I guess the rest will fall in place with time...say by next 50 or 70 Olympics! We know very well that except for cricket we are dumb in all the other sports...simple.

It is very much true, Inspite of 1 billion population we are trying to achieve just one medal. We are not provided with infrastructure & facilities. In school & colleges, priority is given to studies. becoz we just want to make our carrer through studies. becoz we think there is no scope in sports & expenses is more. Games are for rich only

I agree, our contemptuous attitude in general is our biggest weakness. This was rightly highlighted even by Mr. Narayan Murthy (Infosys).
INDIA CAN WIN ONLY WHEN THEY CONCENTRATE NOW U SEE AFTER 2 WEEKS THERE WILL NE LOT OF TALK ANDMINISTER and others will explzain and afterthat wohi dhak ke teen pat it is very sad and o pathetic even a Eritrean which does not have basic facility wins a Gold while we never won a Gold since 1980.
Emmons, who met and married US shooter Matt Emmons after winning bronze at the 2004 Olympics [Images] in Athens, equalled a world record score of 400 in the qualification round and was near flawless in the final round to win the gold medal with a score of 503.5 -- a new Olympic record.
"She did a fantastic job. I'm so proud of her," Matt Emmons told Reuters afterwards.
Lioubov Galkina of Russia [Images] won the silver medal with a score of 502.1. She had also won silver in Athens. Snjezana Pejcic of Croatia took bronze with 500.9.
Du Li of China finished a disappointing fifth. She had won the gold medal in Athens and was the favourite at the Olympics at home.
Emmons hit the bullseye on all 40 of her qualifying round shots for a perfect 400 score and took a small, but vital, lead into the finals.
Du had also been perfect before getting 9 on her 34th shot in qualifying to finish with 399 points. She seemed dejected after that and struggled in the final round.
Emmons, who married her US shooter husband last year, was previously known as Katerina Kurkova. Emmons went into the front row of the crowd shortly after winning to embrace and kiss her husband.
Matt Emmons had missed out on a gold medal in Athens with an ill-timed lapse of concentration, when he fired at the wrong target on his last shot
Katerina Emmons of the Czech Republic claimed the first gold medal of the 29th Olympic Games on Saturday with a convincing victory in the women's 10m air rifle event...My vote of over all Champion will be China..wat do u say??? Wat are ur opinions on Monika's dope taste????Is India did Justice to Monika???Is the Head sports Officials of India did Justice to the Nation???Each & everytime we found discreamination during selection process. One and only hope of olympic medal of India from Monika is deleberately snatch out...whos lost it is??? Is it for Manipur or for India???? when we the Indians will be able to give a hearty laugh with medals in such a game?

I think you should immediately stay away from rediff postings for sure. Our sportsmen just need the support of our people, not critical opinions. Look at the way people in other countries stand by their sportsmen even during bad times. Our contemptuous attitude is our BIGGEST weakness.

rightly said. India should abstain from Olympics for atleast 500 yrs. Atleast the world will not be subjected to some substandard athletes from third world.

no, we should force our leaders to look into the sports budget seriously, because sports victories bring pristege to the country
U right, Madmax, we indians only talk too much but poor performers. Like Mahesh Bupathi was annoyed with the tennis line up. He wanted some small and new guys to play against him so that he could reach upto the semi finals and then boost off. Now that he has got a tough draw he is annoyed. What does he think, Olympic draws are made as per Mahesh Bupathi's wishes?
