Many many hearty congrats to a man who is never being considered as a medal prospect in the Olympics...This will be a tight slap on the face of the "so called sports Stars" of India who went to the games on a very "false" high note and achived a big Zero there.The media also should learn something form this and should encourage these low profile sportspersons...
Rich or poor doesnt make u as a winner.. to win a competition u need to handle pressure at any time, nd zeal to perform against all odds.
What would you say world's no1 archery who is an Indian failed even in first round? Where as Saina, current world no5 (seeded 4 in Olympics) never beat world no1 against whom she lost Semi final, in her entire career with 6 losses in a row. Thats the diff between world no1 from other countries, and world no1 from our country.
and about poor or rich : the biggest example is North Korea, a country 60% population do not ve two time food, millions of died due to starvation.. look at their performance..sitting in top 8 with 4 GOLD medals.. country like Euthopia(one of the poorest country in the world) sitting with one gold in thier kit.
So, we should ask ourselves r we taking our profession or sport seriously, if ans is yes then we never played such horrible hockey in last 20 years..where every Olympics we are at bottom 5 places..
