"I had fever", "The wind is from left and right" ?? You are representing India..not your kancha club or the local carrom team.It is ok to lose, have the dignity to accept defeat humbly and say a word of praise for the people who defeated you. Winning is important,we the people support you and want you to succeed and pray for it as well, but sometimes good is just not good enough. To be an olympian is a big deal and kudos to that.. We understand that. What we want is besides that and non-negotiable is the will, the humility, the pride and grace even if its in a losing cause.These excuses are just that and reflect on Indians as sore losers.On losing his swim race, Michael Phelps,the champion swimmer admitted he swam badly and the rest were far better than him.Admittance of the problem is the first step to resolving it. Have the grace my dear athlete..big wins come from big minds, excuses come from small ones.

Well said.
The wind was same for archers and no special package of wind was blown for Indians.If other archers can judge the wind why not Indians ? Archery is not a sports where body_contact is required or great stamina_muscle power,etc are required.Atleast with some better judgement and concentraton these guys could have performed better.
So far fever is concerned,idiot_indian administrators and coach Limba_Ram is responsible.
What was the need to train them in China border in Sikkim just before olympics ? It defies all logic because London is a warm place now and there is no meaning of training in cold weather as part of preparation.Do they not have this basic information on weather ? Every information is available in the internet_about the weather.
The archers_have been a blot_this olympic and they performed the worst.Next was the tennis_players ,especially Bhupathi_Bopanna who created so much noise that they will win gold medal pairing together.
Normally archers can play upto 35-40 years age and I hope they will prepare well for the next olympics and bring laurels and shall stop giving excuses in the future...
