3 wins a one go in repechase.Salute you man ! And that crocodile style rolling against the north korean was a treat to watch. 3rd Indian to win olympic medal in wrestling....
In SAI preparation camp,rotten fruit and vegetables were served.Now,the administrators should feel ashamed.
Congrats wrestlers who performed brilliantly,(even Narsing_or Amit) compared to their much fancied compatriots in the disciplines like tennis,hockey and archery...
What I observed is only those dreaming for an olympic medal passionately could win a medal.Further,these atheletes thoroughly focused on their training.A zeal to win a medal for self and the country...Be it Mary Kom,Vijay,Saina,Gagan or you.Only with such great determination ,one can achieve olympic glory.
We had much improvement in badminton,atheletics(atleast Gowda,Poonia,Irfan could get position within top 10),shooting .. good enough,even Joydeep finished closed 4th and we doubled our medal collection compared to Beijing.It was hard luck for Bindra and Joydeep inspite of great effort. And boxing could have been better but for initial descrimination in judgement against Sumit and Vikas demoralized our boxers.
Well,we can be some more greedy today.Sushil will be aiming for a better performance.He must be charged up.Can we hope for the all elusive gold ? Or atleast a silver ? Can he become the only Indian to win 2 medals in 2 olympics ? After all,Sushil is our olympic flag bearer.A man of few words...

Hunger and obsession for success is necessary in sports, especially at the top stage like Olympics. Passion and competitiveness in sports and mental toughness is something not taught explicitly in Indian society and in schools. Different pyschology is needed to be world class athelete and win medals. Otherwise you end up amongst the also-rans.
Indian sportsmen need the guts, determination and hunger for gold. Its hard work, but the medal at the end makes up for it. Proud of athletes who give their all and win a medal. Congrats to Yogeshwar!!! Hope you go better next time.
