Six Billion and One Bronze!

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.

We cannot ignore our money minded government but there is one more factor taking india's sports level down and that is the internal politics taking place in the various sports departments of our country. Which includes various components like red-tapism, favouritism, biased judgements and many more. Due to which various non influential sports persons are bound to bear the results in this so called popular nation INDIA.

This is really a good topic for discussion, the problem with our country is corruption, involvement of politicians in sports. Their are three things which should be transparent and these are- money, politics, sports.

Politicians should not be allowed to take decision on their own in choosing the player to play at international level, procedure should be transparent, deserving sportsman should get chance.

Money earned from cricket like game should be shared in other sports, so that every sport can get a chance to prosper.

Education system should provide the facility for sports.

Hello friends,

According to my point of view, there is no proper infrastructure and facilities for sports person in India and they do not get proper treatment after injuries.

There is no any particular scholarship for sports person.

The tendency of people about sports should change. Then and then only, we will win more medals for our country.

Hi friends,

I think for this there are two main reasons among them first is lack of exposure to the most talented people who are in remote areas and the other is the politics in the selection of candidates which is why the parents whose children are quite talented are not coming into sports because they don't have any political help so they don't want to risk their child career. There may be other reason also which is ours is a cricket mad country so people won't even follow other sports.

So finally if we can keep the selection process free of politics then parents will feel secured about their children career and encourage them to go into sports. This must be done because ours is a country which has a vast talent its getting wasted so now the time is ripe to do everything to stop that.

Thank you.

In India the first priority is being given to child's better education. Proper school, proper colleges and then a proper job. No parents in this world want to take the risk of guiding their children in sports as a career. Choosing sports as a career always have the risk of injury and also the life after the completion of career.

It is just because of our system In student life most of the school focused only on study and not give any priority to sports and the students who wants to be a part of sports field don't have any motivation for sports.

One another things is future of olympians too many of the olympic player who strugle in their life now a day and they have no jobs after the end of their sports life and no source of income, our govt. give priority to only those people who is already highlighted and what about those who is not highlighted.

So it is matter of scarring for the parent whose child wants to be a sport person.

It is very easy for us to complain about the inability of our athletes to win medals at the Olympics, but when we have good players from every corner of the country, it is no surprise that nobody takes up athletics seriously.

Hello friends let discuss.

First We must point on the current educational system. All private school management and parents are giving their first preference to studies, ok well its not blamable but the thing is they are not considering any other option other than that even in second place 1) studies, 2) studies, 3) studies, 4) studies, . Until our funeral we had to study. That is the main point they are thinking. Now a days private school management are becoming commercial. Schools without playground had no permission to start but they are showing that they had play ground, but the thing is that is not a playground it is parking place of the vehicles.

In future we even don't find players, artists, dancers, painters,.. We only see the educated fools. I promise that I give full freedom to my child.

Thanking you.

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.

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.
