Why on earth we are sending our sportsmen to olympics when they know very well that they are far inferior to the best in the business ? It is total waste of public money. India should send a very small team of sportsmen who are very close to the top level or should not send a team at all. It is insulting to go with a big team of 800-1000 people and come back with one bronze or no medal when an athlete like phelps wins 8 golds with ease. Even before the game starts he knows that he will win 8 and we know that we will win nothing.

800-1000 ? India only sent 81 athletes. Know your facts before you comment.

India does not spend any money on sports training or building infrastructure. How many of us have seen a swimming pool or tennis court ? We can not compare ourselves to developed countries. The medals India won are mostly individual efforts by the player and their families. Maybe its slowly changing but we should be happy that atleast the team size is growing bigger.

I am happy that so many Indian athletes qualifies for participating the the olympics. Its easy to sit and write comments .. if you feel so much, do something like support someone from your village or our school to train in some sport. Don't just post discouraging comments.

wel participation is more important than winning. 205 countries are participating in this event. today India is ranked at 30th Position. At least we can know our limitations and we can work on them.

India is world champion in the world's most greatest game of lazy cricket played by 10 countries.
This is equal to 25 golds.Hence no problem.

There is a "Rowing" competition..

Why nobody from our side turned up there!!

It's relatively easier & many Rowers from Keral

could 've struck something!!!
