From my thinking, In India their is a more corruption and this is because of politicians. India has a more talented persons but few come in picture because of lack of encouragement which is necessary for every persons. By the encouragement normal persons can be switched into the talented persons by practicing. But India does not have that environment. Mostly Indian parents desires for their child to be a doctor, engineer not anything else. And during the olympics 2012 their was a few sportsmans achived a bronze medal and not one got a gold medal. This is totally because of lack of encouragement. India government have also selected a persons which is from their kins. So, this is also the cause of lower talented persons. Besides, Indian government should make authority to Respective Indian Sports players to select a person for the respective sports. And there should be a lot of provisions for the player which would encourage to everyone participate in their respective games. And India which we forgotten many games, this would create a interest in every sportsmen and our youth revived their talents.

In games world talent supplemented by support then only luck glitters and becomes the gold, yeah gold medal!

Anti-sport mentality of Indian parents and very poor sports youth-talent execution in schools as one or two games options with poor playgrounds is major factors of not giving a chance to a deserve child even who has hidden talent for a particular sports event.

So, show off comes only as rich families children entered only as their amusement and no real dedication.

On another hand, by mistake any talent rose up to completions remains undernourished as corrupted bureaucrats as well officials over them who only enjoys their family trip abroad over sports fund in the naming of players are going with them. In fact number of officials over to a number of players going in abroad games.

So a fine and transparent system with required infrastructure to be maintained and to hone the hidden natural talents with parents mindset as their child will make a glorious career in so and so sport because of so and so talent.

Thanks.

This is just like the question, " Which came first, the egg or the hen?" as we can neither blame the politicians or the sportspersons. Politicians are more concerned about their party and votes. On the other hand there are only few daring youngsters who go for sports as their careers. In India, any sports other than cricket is considered as waste of money, time and life by many of the parents. They always want their kids to become engineers and doctors. Children who are good at sports are discouraged by their parents. The worst part is, when a person faces all the ordeals and determines to come up as a sportsperson, there would be no sponsors for him at all.

Recently, a young tennis player got a chance to go abroad and play tennis but the passport authority failed to provide him with a visa.

So, we cannot blame a specific group of people for the lack of sportspersons in India. Instead we can encourage the upcoming talents and expect them to bring glory to India in various sports.

We all remember that everyone's first friend/teacher is none other than our parents. Most of them don't consider sports as a career option for their children and do not encourage them in that direction. They don't know how sports would be a career option. All citizens should be made aware of the career in sports. They consider sports as a thing just to pass time. We all think education is the only thing for us to excel in life. That's correct but they also consider the interests of their children and also try to find out which suits their children. There are many other career opportunities like music, dance, acting, sports, writing and so on. Parents duty is to find out which attracts their children and encourage them in that direction. What makes their children happy. If they enjoy what they are doing, no one can stop them from excelling in their career. So my sincere advice to all, just observe which is the interest of your kids from childhood. Medals will follow automatically.

In my opinion we are the nation of the billion but at the time to get the medals we are fail behind this their are several reasons to led down the growing players. Mostly when a good players want to become international player in their sports he does not have enough capital to buy a expensive tools because most of the sports tools are to expensive they can't afford these tools.

The another reason is that most of the parents in India want their child become become engineer, docter, lawyer etc. They treated sports as a hobby not as a carrier. They think that their child want to go to spoil her/him future in sports then they do not allow to play any sports yo their child.

But when we talk about the other nation which have a population half of less then the India. They doing well in sports because in that nation sports is treated carrier and the players are indulged in their sports from the childhood that why they are getting medals and that makes a large differance.

What I believe is that at present there are many talents in India but they are not able to participate at the international level just because of financial conditions. It was in the past that parents did not allow their children to participate in sports and aim it as his/her carrier. Today even parents are encouraging their children to participate in sports and other extra curricular activities along with studies. It is just because of money they are not able to disclose their talent I n front of the world. Even though India is a developing country and there are many millionares or billionares like Mittal, Ambani, Tata, Birla, etc. Still the poor are poorer. So, the talent cannot come forward. Thus, the requirement is that all the Indians should get united and try to encourage talent and help those talents who have financial problems so that India can also compete with the rest of the world and be in the top position.

Hello, this is Yoganand Katuri.

Wanted to speak few words regarding the given line "SIX BILLION AND ONE BRONZE".

Firstly the population is not in a matter of this kind of information because all depends upon the enhancing of talents in national level. So the person with good practise and concentration regarding certain sport may have chance giving tough competition to opponents and win a medal. Mainly we are responsible not winning the medals because everyone is interested in engineering and medicine rather playing any game. Lack of infrastructure is also another reason for fewer participants in games. Parents should allow the students to learn some sports/games so that they know something about the game, we never expect everyone to participate in Olympics and their conducting way. Mainly every one of must supports them, encourage them rather than knowing only their results and negatives.

Thanks for reading.

In other countries like America by participating in sports one can survive due to plenty of opportunities (NFL, NBA, WWF, Boxing). In India it is worthless. Nowadays few coming up they are like IPL for cricket, IHL for Hockey, IBL for Badminton. I hope there should more for other sports as well like wrestling, gymnastics, shooting, archery, swimming. TV anchors should bring out super talents like dance show or India got talent in the stage for sports also and should encourage to get into sports by awarding them. It is not to blame parents. Politician son goes to politics since more money involved, actor son goes for movie acting since it gives money. So encouragement should come from childhood. Doctors son will choose MBBS to take care original Hospital. So all village young people should encourage by giving good sports facility, since forming with sports have a good combination for a healthy body.

Hello everyone, I think constantly low performance of our country's players is due to the mixture of problems like filthy politics, the parents' mentality, meagre health and sport opportunities, and the list goes on. There can be one more reason added negative impact some players are leaving on the people.

Now-a-days match fixing and betting on games is a common trend and well-known players are getting involved in these activities and this might be responsible for looking sport with a suspicious eye.

And the possibility could be that many people have an inclination towards the sport and have right traits for taking our country to the new height but they are not getting opportunities and facilities.

The thought should be given that countries with less population than that of ours are getting good rankings in games. Some points should be deliberated on and some real reforms are needed.

This is really a good topic to be discussed .Our country has large number of youth but one gold in Olympic. It does not mean that there is no talented persons. The reason is that their talent is not used properly. At present if we take the sports famous personalities like Sania, Saina, Naren and others, they have a good economical background, hence they go up easier.



There are many champions in our country among us and their economy is very bad. Suppose if they come up by adjusting the situation, the next one is our politics and politicians.



The higher officials in the field of sports are person who dont know about sports.If the situation changes we will be the toppers in this field too.



There is another way also the famous sports personalities can sponser the juniors who are economically bad with full interest and skill. If they do so we can achieve in sports also...
