Six Billion and One Bronze!

Apart from the political disturbances and other related areas the present age youth are accustomed to facilities and are lazy. They are over addicted to smart world which also plays an important role. We must also try to inculcate the habits of playing outdoor games right from the school age.

The prime reason for such a disappointing figure for medals despite having second largest population in the world is the lack of funding for sports other than cricket due to which these sports cannot avail a good quality coach and proper training. Also choosing cricket as an option is always safe and lucrative option in India.

The main problem is also that what will be their source of Bread and Butter after olympics as the tournaments for sports other than cricket are not done at regular intervals and they have to do some other part time jobs or business for their survival.

Yes I do agree that our govt is not encouraging sports.

Basically our Indian mind set is that, most of the parents think that we have only one career option and that is studies, most of the parents give a lot of emphasis on study they don't even bother to think about sports they just regard it as a cheap thing or it is something that we should not take it as our career, but now a days they are lot of educated parents who are giving importance to sports also and they regard sports as a upcoming career option and expelling in sports is not an easy thing at all it requires lot of physical and mental stamina and lot of dedication and hard work and efforts to be put on to it.

Coming to the point why they are only bronze medals in spite of India being second largest populated country. Leaving all these things that : govt is not encouraging sports; political involvement in sports etc etc. We should stop blaming all other factors first sports men and women should have keen interest and should have tremendous zeal to work hard and their will power should be high to excel in particular sport. India is lacking in sports is due to lack of efforts and patience by the players there is no proper dedication towards the sport.

There is a quotation that "WHERE THERE TS A WILL THERE IS A WAY".

So finally I conclude by saying that if you have real will to succeed in life you will definitely achieve your goal. So lack of concentration is the main reason is what I feel.

Thank you for reading with a lot of patience.

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.

Hello gentleman.

The primary reason for the poor state of the nation in sports is the apathy on the part of the sports governing authorities. One key reason for that is most of the top positions in such authorities are occupied by bureaucrats rather then those who knows about sports. This results in very poor coordination in top level and the grassroots level sports authorities.

Lack of funds is invariably cited as the prime factor. But the fact that no amount of funds can be adequate for the purpose due to corruption in these bodies. Lack of proper infrastructure is another factor. The qualities of grounds in India is generally pathetic. This is because they are not conditioned regularly to be in the best shape. Any money if apportioned for the care and up-gradation of the grounds and stadiums does not reach its intended target.

Lack of motivation among players is another factor in India other sportsmen than cricketers are paid peanuts. The media is also to blame for the poor condition of games and sports in the nation sports other than cricket rarely get adequate coverage.

The whole scenario points to the flaws that are hindering the progress of our nation in the domain of sports.

Hello friends!

Six Billion and One Bronze, these five words speak the current condition of India in commonwealth games. When a small boy/girl is studying school their parents focus on getting them good marks in exams rather than cultivating his/her hobbies in sports. As people want their children to be doctor or scientist or engineer rarely parents support their children for sports. They just end up the conversation saying "It's not your cup of tea". This improvisation should be done by Indian Education System by adding sports as a subject and encouraging students for participating in every sports.

Another problem is that India is obsessed with cricket those parents who encourage their child they want them to become a cricketer. In commonwealth games only 2 swimmers are sent for representing India! this is a brutal truth. As cricket has got fame and money involved in it, so everybody wants to be cricketer. After Mr. Milkha Singh there has not been a single person to continue his victory streak. After cricketers retire they still get into limelight with commentary or something like that but does anyone care when a gold medalist of discus throw retire. They live an ordinary life inspite of giving so much to team India. Indians love to play football then why are they not participating in FIFA representing India?

On those five words anyone can give a lecture of two to three hours but there should be some steps taken for prevention of it.

Thank you.

Yes this is important topic to be discussed. We have many talented people in all fields. But the problem lies in the fact that importance is given to one sport mainly cricket. Of course we should encourage cricket but at the same time we should give equal importance to other sports also. We can't forget or neglect our national game 'Hockey'. Its sad that almost all from young generation prefer cricket first than others. Young generation should know more about all the games other than cricket in India.

And also I think lack of coaching cent res in India is the main reason for this. Because many poor children are really good and talented in sports but due to poor coaching they could not show their talents at the higher levels and shine.

India is the largest population next to China in the world. Lack of economy in India in fact more corrupted. Major problem in India is not being good at Olympics, talent persons not showing in right areas, proper mentor in the direction of sports.

Other reason like resources, infrastructure, will resources are provided some many talented persons does not how to utilize it. In the fields of sport some high officials does not know sport, thinking that playing politics higher position.

While govt provided money for sports but higher officials corrupted. Not only government but also peoples much show interest in sport. The best solution is encouraging the talent persons & remove the corrupt in the Field of sport talent persons make try it do more hard work successes in olympics.

India has a population of 6 billion and is hardly able to secure a single bronze medal. It's not because our country doesn't have talent. This is due to following reasons:.

> Our education system doesn't permit us to take out some time for sports. Parents want children to concentrate on their studies rather than on the sport.

> Our country is lacking behind in proving good facilities and coach to the sports person. It doesn't have much money to invest in sports because major chunks of money go into the pockets of corrupt officials.

> Because of lack of facilities, domestic players are unable to compete at international level.

> In India, cricket enjoys a special status as compared to any other sport. In spite of hockey being our national sport, cricket enjoys a special position. That is why our country is performing well in one area and is the worst in the rest.

Hi, my dear readers!

Six billion and One Bronze is a good topic to discussion. In my point of view it absolutely correct. In our country parents are not encourage to participate sports that're our Indians mentality. Parents think only.

My daughter/son will be settle in engineering field or doctor field extra but no one think to settle in sports. No role in the education system to sports and our Indian politics are not good don't encourage to sports that is why our situation is like this. If above problems are solved then Indian sports will be good.
