Olympic Confidence!

It appears Deepika Kumari's mother is in the habit of counting her chickens before they hatch. We have plenty of those in India.

Dear nibin: I would encourage being hopeful and supporting. All of us should wish her success. But there's always a chance of failure. Sir Roger Bannister who was the first person to run the mile under four minutes and also world champion and number 1, never won an Olympic medal. There's a saying, "There is many a twixt between the cup and the lip". So don't count your chickens before they hatch.
We wish her success.

She was not hoping, she was certain. That makes a difference in English language.
