Six Billion and One Bronze!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Guys, stop blaming our country's economic, political, or social based issues. It is the personal interest which brings a person to whom he wanted to be. If he/she interested in sports let them bring their talent like Milkha Singh and prove their best.
