Six Billion and One Bronze!

This is the most important topic that should be discussed in the today's IT world.

In our country children are not given freedom to choose own career starting from their childhood, Parents are insisting their dreams to their children so that they are not given a chance to share their views about their career.

Schools in India are mostly private, for producing good results, students are not given to express their talent.

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.

Hello, friends.

Six billion and one bronze. There are several reasons for this.

- First one is that the total population of a country doesn't have any relation with Olympics medal. What really affect it is the part of the population that actively participate in sports activities.

- In India, the academics is given more importance than sports. We have many good universities but very few good sports universities.

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.

There are many reasons for the poor performance of India in Rio Olympics. In India, there are a lack job securities so youth invests most for their time in pursue of academics and in job seeking. Parents do not allow their children to take the risk. Another reason is a lack of expenditure by central and state governments on sports. A report by a parliament panel reveals that central and states both spends only 3 paise on an average on a person per day for sports while the USA spends a whopping 22 Rs a day per person.

Most of the people are fascinated about cricket because of high money and fame in cricket. Most of the sports in which India is good are not the part of Olympic-like cricket, chess, kabaddi etc. There are some social hindrances also like girls are restricted to take part.

6 million people and one bronze and a silver. I don't think we need to blame your parents for insisting us to do what they want us to do. It's simple they want our future to be secured. It would be them who will get hurt seeing their children with their dreams broken.

Now talking about politics in sports. If politics is removed from the field of sports then I think there are hundred and thousands of Sachin, PV Sindhu, Sania mirza that we can get from each 'gully'.

Compare education system of China with India, there is lots of difference in the case of sports. In China, every student should choose 1 sports in which they have interest. After that, they can do a career in that sports.

But in India our education system not giving that much importance to sports but to academics.

Yes it is really shameful for all of us. With the second highest population in the world we could only managed to achieve 2 medals. But I don't think there is any shortage of talent in this great nation. But I believe that there is lack of infrastructure to get these talents perform at the world stage. A very cause of this is the so called Politics of India. People choose to play just for getting government jobs under sports quota. Government is building up new IITs but with no concern to build a Olympics Stadium. We are not even nominated for hosting great events. India's sports needs to distribute its focus on all games rather than spending all on only one sport.

With a second highest population in the world, we are hardly able to bag only two medals that too bronze and silver. I don't think there is a shortage for talents in India but there is a lack of world-class infrastructure. Our country has not even nominated for hosting Olympics. Our government is ready to build many it's but they didn't show any interest to build a world class stadium. Even though if they allocate something, a major part of that goes to the pockets of corrupted officials. India is good in some sports like cricket, chess, kabaddi but unfortunately, they were not included in Olympics. Our culture of restricting girls to go outside is also the main reason. We should give equal importance to all sports. Politics in sports should be abolished because by that we cannot represent the real talent before the world.

Olympics at Rio began with a lot of hopes and anticipations. Our athletes pushing really hard to make it to the top and fans cheering everywhere. This year was expected to be a different story. Dipa Karmakar became the first Indian female gymnast at Olympics and finished fourth at the Women's Vault Gymnastic events. A bronze and a silver by Sakshi Malik and PV Sindhu and we were done already. There are several reasons which together constitute to India's poor performance at Olympics.

1) Lack of sports culture.

Unless there is a synergized sports culture, you are not going to win a string of medals. A fundamental overhaul is needed and urgently so. -Boria Mazumdaar. Without sports culture, athletes are left out of the supportive environment that is strongly needed in the shaping of better-performing bunch of athletes.

2) Poverty and lack of education.

There is a lack of strong foundation for sportsperson in India. While pursuing their interest in sports they also have to take care of their economic factors and pay a part of their attention towards earning livelihood or education for some. You do not get spared from exams in schools for pursuing sports.

3) Infrastructure.

We do lack the proper infrastructure for training and practice session of athletes that could make them more competent and well equipped to deal with world class athletes. It could have been far better of our athletes have access to better infrastructure and get to play all across the country to stay well practised.

4) Lack of encouragement.

Right from the very beginning youth of India is discouraged to take sports as a career. Parents are more obsessed with the likes of medical and engineering. And for girls, the scenario is worse with an obnoxious list of drawbacks and hindrances they have to face before they could persuade their parents to let them play. Most of us are forced to quit sports, in order to do something that would give them better job security.

Our athletes might not have bagged many medals, but they sure are trying harder and doing better. In years to come with more emphasis towards the development of infrastructure and providing world class facilities for their training, I am sure our athletes will make India proud. More importantly, our encouragement and media focus over sports other than just cricket could do wonders.
