Sometimes it is selection of sports in Olympics which causes India to win less. And not the lack of sporting culture in India.Our sports is so pathetic smh.
Sports culture is prevalent but the thing is that Khelo India is a joke, I mean when I go to cities I see no one interested in playing anymore but into smartphone bs.Sometimes it is selection of sports in Olympics which causes India to win less. And not the lack of sporting culture in India.
Athletics and swimming heavily dominate the olympics tallies. 93/306 medals at Rio Olympics were for that. Plus 40 more for canoeing, sailing and rowing.
That's 40% medals just for two things.
Lack of swimming infrastructure hurts India badly. Even in most developed regions of Delhi/NCR, it is hard to find Olympics level swimming pools or training. And even if they are there, wait time is too high due to demand-supply gap.
When India got a chance to select the sports, as in Commonwealth Games 2010, it finished ahead of UK. Something which took China 50+ years to achieve, and could not replicate in 2016 Rio Olympics.
Sports which India play (Kabbadi, cricket) are given 0 medals. Sports which Japan/china play (Judo) are given 14 medals.
Commonwealth Games are joke. We keep participating in mediocre games we will become mediocre.Sometimes it is selection of sports in Olympics which causes India to win less. And not the lack of sporting culture in India.

If they beat today will they get medal.Indian women hockey team now playing with world number 1 nederland . 3 times olympic gold medal and 11 times world champianship . 1st half has been beyound my expectations .. 1 - 1 right now . Nederland got 4 penalty corner but was defended all of it ..
Even if india looses from now on i must say the way these girls are playing against a legendary team is outstanding .
