Even if what you said is right, what about World No. 1 Tennis Player Djakovich's loss both in Doubles and Singles ? How do you account for the defeat of famous Williams Sisters ? They had gone to gain experience to Rio ?
That only proves my point Tennis Player Djakovich lost because there was no money at stake. He gives his hundred percent when money is there to grab. same is the case with Paes and sania. They do better only when smell of money gives them kick.
I agree with You. It's a Competition of the highest order, where the Best of the Best will compete for the honors. Which why, the Motto of Olympics says, It's not the win that matters. It's the participation that Matters.
I think I should go and participate in next Olympics, I assure you that there is no way people can stop me from coming last in every event I participate in.
Congratulations. It's ok if you don't get any Medal. Still you are considered as Great. As you took part in Olympics.
We are only good at exchanging banalities and thus do not win much in any sporting event including Olympics.
Watch Men;s Hockey going on now. India is leading by 2 -0 against Argentina.
Actually we are easily satisfied people who become happy with the title of Olympian. We do not think beyond that and as everyone is saying we go there for gaining experience- I am not sure what kind of experience Bindra, Sania, Paes and company gained in their last Olympics. Government's duty ends with announcement of 2 crore for winners because they know there will be hardly anyone that will claim it.
Olympics are not every body' s Cup of tea. It's only Creme de la Creme can win a Medal in Olympics. Olympics are the ultimate.
