Six Billion and One Bronze!

This question rises in every youth when Olympics is conducted. Out of six people in the world one is an Indian citizen. This depicts our population explosion. Even though we are six billion in number, we could only get only bronze. The gold which we usually acquire through hockey also gone. There is a champion in every state who has greater capability, endurance but there is no encouragement to those people from the government and they do not bother them.

To people who aspire to be an sportsmen or sportswomen there is inadequate facility and lack of proper training. Even though we play hockey well we lose because of advancement in technology i.e., We don't know to link technology with sports.

At least if we conduct some commonwealth games our athletes or sportsmen or sportswomen are exposed to other countries game, but in that also corruption. Our government doesn't leave any place and for money only they conduct these games. They don't know about basic sports. There are schools which can provide training to the students to the certain level. But from there government has to take measures to bring their talent to the fullest level.

Still now there is no separate sports school where the students can be trained by professionals from all over the world. Hitler to make his country proud in the Olympics gave encouragement and incentives to the athletes who won the medal. But our government doesn't take any measures. Recently, IOC suspends IOA for not conducting election. They even don't know the basic conduct of the Olympics. This is where we stand in sports. Our people are exposed like this only CRICKET is a sport OTHERS are just a game.

In my words.

Its only lacking of encouragement from the society and family. Let us see in cricket participating teams is 11 (at most 12). So how will be India as world winner. Its only coming from society encouragement. Sachin gives for India cricket fever so he was getting Bharat ratna. Dhyan chand gives for India 8 gold medals. So he didn't getting at least Padma vibhushan. This is the encouragement in India and with the politics also.

100 jamaica's is equal to one India but in olympics 28 india's is equal to jamaica. Let us remove love in one sporting game. From now on words lets try to love our nation. This is only we will giving for our nation.

Thank you.

A very good topic we must analyze. India have a large pool of talented players in all forms of sports but why India is last at Olympic medals tally is a big question that is run in our mind. It is because of Indian politics plays a vital role. No proper coaching for good players and not proper encouragement to all our athletes. This is major reason that affecting our Indian sports. Our sport policies taken by govt must be change this will help us to improve our sports condition well.

Six billions and one bronze, has to be, in a country with world's second largest population, talent is obviously not missing! what is missing is the proper scrutiny. Our country needs a proper functioning and autonomous body for all kind of sports other than cricket. Cricket should be given less prominence. Every sport should given proper attention, it's high time that the cricket fever was down. How many of us were actually watching the Olympics and CWG? and to add to it, we had this CAG scam in which number of politicians were charged. Our country has a lot of money and scopes as well, but nepotism and corruption are not allowing them to be properly streamlined. The only solutions out are a proper independent committee and more commitment towards sports.

According to my opinion, sports person and athletes have given their best out of bounds under the current conditions of sports in India. Every year on Feb 28 Union budget is presented by our finance ministry, this time also major part of budget highlights only FDI, infrastructure, and industries. No emphasis is given on education as well as in sports sector. It is a bitter truth that condition of sports in Indian is critical. Sportsperson do not get proper equipment, diet and also coaches. They are asked to get their own private coaches, even knowing that athletes do not belong to a rich family. Moreover, they do their practice at a place with poor infrastructure, where condition of drinking water is really bad. Even in that conditions, they are giving their best. Salute!

Its very shameful to say that India won just a single medal. There is not a lack of talent in India. As we can see in cricket so much talented players are there (sachin tendulkar, rahul dravid, m. S dhoni. ) why?resion is facilities provided to them!

As in olympics abhinav bindra won a gold medal by getting a good training from his coach. He is a rich person but not every talent of India is rich. I think that is the resion of india's pitty position in olyampics.

We are second most populated countries in the world and yet we haven't been able to perform the way our counterpart's china has been able to do. How do you get gold in Olympics The one straight forward answer that I see to this is economy of the country. When India competes at Olympics it's more bronze in our medal tally than gold whereas when we compete at SAARC games we top the charts, and we are doing this on consistent basis. So this leads us to the very ultimate solution that if a country needs to be good in games than it should have a strong economy. The neighborhood countries of India apart from china are countries which are going through a lot of political disturbances or are still in process of making, and that is why they don't emphasis on sports and keep political stability as their priority.

In spite of that I don't see why we cannot do well in sports. We are a developing nation and just need to spend a bit more than what we are currently spending on sports. We all might have heard the stories of Olympic heroes and how did they fought the situation and made their way to the top. If small countries can get 5th or 6th ranked in the table then why can't we do it? Providing players with all the necessary facilities that they might require to nourish, and also need to find players who are really eager to perform and represent their nation at international level.

Six billion and one bronze. Yes India is a huge populated country. We have talked about everyone, their mistakes, our mistakes. But why don't we focus on the solution for this major problem where though India is blessed with talented personalities yet is not able to transform itself into developed country. India is having many big bollywood stars, many entrepreneurs, many NGOs are also into an act. They can contribute for the society. They can encourage people to come forward and do something for their country. As a citizen we also have responsibilities.

For the future we are going to become parents of a child. Here its our chance to vow for the betterment of this country. After all its we and our family who is going to reside in this country. We should understand that Indians have such capability that can help them to conquer the world even. Today USA seeks employees from our country INDIA. If we take a pledge that our talent and our skills will be used only for our people then no one can stop to call India as DEVELOPED COUNTRY. As per my view if 6 billion converts to 6 bronze then who will dare to think of attacking on us or competing with us.

If at all if there are was a sports like corruption or how to excel in politics India would have bagged the maximum gold. The politicians do not encourage or care for for sports. Proper infrastructure is not provide and the Sports Authority do not have people who have any background in sports. Everyone sits at the top for money.

Foreign coaches and also proper training is not provided at the highest level except for cricket. Of late a foreign coach has been provided in hockey and it is providing results. This itself is a lesson to be learnt by our authorities at the highest level. There is no lack of talent in a country like country like India there is a huge population of six billion people. If India is excelling in cricket then that person is applauded. I do not why foreign coaches are not provided in other sports and foreign physios.

Dear friends, in a nut shell I can conclude that the degrading in the sport persons performance is due to multiple things.

1) The very first being the miserable politics of our country.

2) The second being the economic condition of our country.

3) The inclination of a sports person towards the glamorous world (Advertisements etc).

4) His own zeal (enthusiasm) to play.

Guys there is not one factor that affects their performance but all the above given points affects a sports persons performance.

Thanks a lot for reading it patiently.
