What Chinese media have outlined are basic issues,. What Chinese media fails to understand or do not want to understand is that Indian are perhaps the most logical people. We believe in right and wrong, fairness etc. In China its only about profit or loss. If its loss then its wrong., if its profit, its right.
The players we develop are mostly like mult talented, who, after their career in sports can easily have another career because thats the way we bring them up. China on other hand is only breeding sportsmen, they have entire academies dedicated for developing sportsmen. These academies start to train student from age of 5 for various aspects. Further Chinas one child policy has ensured that almost each family puts all their hopes on one child, thus in China itself, for 5 places in olympic berth ther will be 1000 good players and so almost 1000 sets of parents who have their hope, so in that case the failure rate is much high, After say practicing for 8 years at a stretch ytou cannot get into 5 who go to Olympics, does it not count as failure? But on other hand, we in India have more than one child, thus resources are divided on two kids, entire hopes are not put on one child alone. The child is in a way allowed to select what sports they truly like. Maybe you can say our attempt is half heated, but our culture does not revolve around victory in Olympic games which comes after every 4 years but it reflects around family and friends who want the best for us, and even in case of failure the familes are not destroyed because they had put all their resources for the success of the child and they could not achieve it.
Mentally, Olympics is never our priority, we just want to excel in what we do, Nothing wrong in that, Though we are the worlds largest democracy and 7th biggest country in the world, we dont win medals,
For being an Olympic country we have to be fully developed country and with lot of infra structure, Such infra structure comes with development also, IT is not only about building, these infra structures but using them and maintaining them which are cost forbidding too. Do go and see the olympic stadii in Greece,.all are rotting.
It is true we are a poor country which does not have resources for winning medals. But importantly we do not have good infra structure too that comes only with development. Once we achieve development, resources are going to put into development of new infra structure and that will automatically reflect on results/
I had a funny epiphany. For example in swimming only American top 1-5 get selected for olympics, 6-rest are not even there, So, why dont we give these 6-10 Indian citizenship, and berth to compete in Olympics, Swimming is a sport where we dont do well. Let me repharase it.,.. we are non existent in world swimming, hence by setting up something like Olympics BPO, we end up taking players who are well trained by their respective national academies at their cost, and all we do is give them our nationality for a year or two, And send them to olympics under our flag.. For a player sometimes to Achieve gold medal is very important and if the player is not able to compete from their country, why not we let them compete under our flag,
Benefits
a) No immediate infra structure needed, they come trained in their own infra structure and at their govts cost sof many years.
b) There is no compulsion for player to retain his/her indian citizenship, They keep their medal and even get national rewards.
c) They get a medal and we get higher rank in achieving gold medals..
d) We create our own BPO, where we get Foreign talent and put them to better use for them to get medals for themselves and for us.
It is win win situation both for the player and for us a a country,.. and what the hell have we got to lose??
This is one way to win Olympic medals by being smart. haha No need for indians to put in all the hard work just as yet...
Hello Fellow Indians,
without being rude in any way, merely stating facts, we know as a fact that prcchina has a large society and enough to keep themselves busy but yet again, they want to peep into our dressing-rooms and poke their noses into our affairs and culture .
the evidence for my saying so is in this article :-

"Why India fails at Olympics? Chinese media thinks it has the answer"
I have summarised the points for all you busy folks although the reference is there if you like to read the entire article .
the question they are asking us to consider is ;-
Why does India, which houses a sixth of the world’s population, inevitably figure at the end of the medal tally at the Olympics?
The reasons they gave are as follows:-
lack of infrastructure,
poor health,
poverty,
girls not being allowed to participate in sports,
boys being coaxed into becoming doctors and engineers,
the popularity of cricket over other sports
my comments are that, regarding
infrastructure - our priority is the economy , so that will have to be given first place and sports infrastructure will have to take second or 3rd place
poor health - depends on economy, as does alleviating poverty, so our taxpayers money has to go for that than sports
girls - .....
you leave them alone ...our culture is f«different that yours , we want our girls to be girls and not become athletic like boys ....thanks you very much .....perhaps we should also tell them that our girls are going extremely well in the beauty contests and so that is their propriety - and in contrast they do very badly in that area ....still we wont stick into their affairs and tell them why !
boys ?
you leave them alone , you pervs ....... we prefer them to be doctors, accountants, scientists , business experts , computer geniuses , than sports personalities ...... so that is our priority and it is our choice .
One reason india is doing rather well globally is because of the FOCUS on important matters ....look at the indian CEO's in so many global ventures ...that would NOT have happened if we lost our focus and went in to sports
cricket
same answer
just as they were trying to dictate to us on diplomatic matters to keep silent about SCS now they are also trying to dictate to us on cultural matters as well
basically we should let them read and we should know ourselves that it is our preference and culture and that , our priorities do not lie in sports but in doing well professionally, and to stop interfering in our affairs
doing well in studies and in raising a medium-sized family is our culture , not sports
