Proud of you Sakshi

Till now we blame government then we will blame industrialists. Why are we so hungary for medals. Society has to be all round excellent not in one area to save our prestige.

Who blamed Industrialists.? In fact all of us appreciating Industrialists who are coming forward with Financial Rewards to Sakshi. Jindal Industries already announced a Reward.

She deserved this reward. It is better that Industrialists adopt some athlets for next Olympic games. Indian spots federation have many Suresh Kalmaries.

Now the trend started. Many Voluntary organizations too are coming forward to Sakshi's help with Rewards.

We will have a gold or atleast a silver soon.. pv sindhu is into the finals.... 

@vijay sir... why should we not be hungry for medals. We want our sports persons who are competing at such a huge international event. We want then to win. Whats wrong in that.

A glorious moment for Indian Badminton star Sindhu. I was watching the game all along. The Japanese Shuttler was 6th ranked. Sindhu was 10th ranked. Sindhu finished her opponent in just below an hour.

Yes sir the match was really a joy to watch... i have always enjoyed watching sindhu play... today was no exception. Beautifully played. 

Hoping she gets the gold. Tomorrow is the d-day cant wait.

Its game on....

With Aditi Ashok qualifying for Gold finals it is woman power from India , this time round. Thankfully now we are assured of at least 3 medals. Aditi is just 18 and probably the youngest sportsperson from India taking part in the present Olympics !

Yes, it's all women power for India. Ultimately, we Indians can say we have won some medals but yes, Dipa Karmakar has won the hearts of every Indian even after not wining a medal at Rio. Thus, performance matters a lot and that sometimes win a medal and sometimes not.

Some times, we remember a Sports person's performance more than the winner's performance. . There were incidents, where the Winner himself comes forward to congratulate hi opponent's performance. Despite all this, the ultimate that counts is the medal.

Yes. I agree, Sakshi and Sindhu's tremendous show is an unmistakable sign of 'Woman Power.

These two medals show that given proper diet and training Indians can win, but sad that for a nation of 1200 million only 2 medals? Even a improvised country like Kenya has 4 Gold. The national diet needs to be greatly improved as a population where ,45% live below poverty line cannot be expected to produce world class athletes.

Yes definitely. The govt needs to take the steps to ensure proper training, facilities and support infrastructure for the sports person. Only then we will be able to excel in international events like the Olympics. There are many other talented people not only in sports but also other fields who are unable to get the deserved recognition because of lack opportunities and funds.

I feel we have a lot of raw talent in the country which needs some fine tuning. If this fine tuning could be taken up by the govt we Indians can achieve a lot in all fields and not only sports.

It is also sad and unfortunate  that another wrestler Narsingh Yadav has now been banned for four years because of doping charges. Understandably he is devastated and wants the intervention of the PM..However if the charges are true then he has to face the consequences , no two ways about it !

First, the charges of Doping on Narsing Yadav were absolved. This was a month back. Then there was a talk that Narsing was a victim of a big scheme to see he's disqualified for Rio. But this new tur shocked me. He was a prospective medal winner.

Yes, if charges are true then he should face the music. Before he left for the meet there was a selection controversy. Sushil Kumar got rejected and he was selected but the whole selection process was done very hurriedly. It is always very easy to blame an unknown rival group for all the negative charges. I agree that sometimes rivals do play a spoilsport but it needs to be proved especially when the country's prestige is involved.

This really makes you feel proud of our special citizens ..They have shown the way to other athletes ..At the Special Olympics Indian Athletes have scored as many as 173 medals standing third after the USA and China ..Not much is made of them though while the media ad  the entire nation focuses on the normally gifted players who are yet to come up to the international standards after so many decades of participation..

 First the wrestler was exonerated by NADA, National Anti Doping  Agency. Poor wrestler was making himself for wrestling, that was scheduled to open his campaign today. I'm in a confusion.
