All this media hype will loose its grip slowly slowly after few days. i have doubt india will bring more then 2 medals all together.
Things can change. In the last olympics champia was 2nd in the ranking round but went on to lose in the 2nd round itself. so rankings are not important. Anyway the men don't have mch chance of winning. Its the women who have a good chance.
I agree as one of the bloggers that sometimes we underestimate the efforts that are gone into even qualifying or even reaching that stage. But here is an example that should open our eyes where do we really stand. You all must have seen the heroic stories about the MICHEAL PHELPS,MARK SPITZ,SERGEI BUBKEA,ELENA ISINBAYEVA,CARL LEWIS and the list is endless. The common think between them is that they have litterally devoted, surrendered to not just their game to their dream and the when I see them performing I can feel the zeal to be best in thier eyes,body language and of course performance. The above example is a result of the same that the kind of madness that you require at this level to perform. If we are complaining about the facilities only then what kind of facilities do african sprinters have, they hardly get anyhelp from their war affected countries but still they shine in the atheletics event.
Winning a medal in the OLYMPICS is not about having only best of facilites, its like a passion that a soldier has to die for the country who has no fear whatsoever come what may the situation is. I hope bloggers wont hate me for being a little nagative.

Indians participate in Olympics for Govt Jobs (without having to actually do any job) not the medals.
