Six Billion and One Bronze!

I think lack of coaching centres 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 showcase their talents at the higher levels and shine.so government should take necessary steps to overcome this.By providing good coaching centres with well trained coachers will definitely improve the talent and skills of poor children who are willing to come up in sports.

people does not have passion and craze for other sports as they have cricket.The reason is ,other games are not well promoted in school and collages properly.As result a few people gets success and that too bronze.
The other reason is that we could not produce success in other games so they automatically not admired.

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.

One of the reason for this that administration which handles all the activities for the players is itself corrupt. Many players didn't get the proper sports equipment for their training which affects their performance. Proper arrangements are also not made for them. Other problems are that many players start using drugs for their better performance which adversely affect their health.

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.

In this materialistic world everyone thinks about money and they want to invest or want to sponsor only those sports and game which in return give them a huge profit.These people doesn't understand the spirit of the game and feelings of the players and society that's why the real talents are not discovered from this huge populated country and those players can't perform well in the international games........

One of the nice topic, it must be discussed in every field. Our country has large population and so many talented persons are there. But one thing is that every parents give much attention to their children's study but noone can give scope to their children for sports. If govt give some special attention to sports from primary label then parent and media all give attention towards the sports.

Six billion and one bronze.

This statement aptly signifies the current status of sports in India. With a population of 1.2 billion, we have just managed to win 2 medals in Olympics. The prime reason being support from family and financial support from the government. There is a budget for sports from the government, Maximum part of it is invested in sports like cricket. Rest all other sports get a minimum share of the budget. This affects the training of athletes that are preparing themselves for such competitions.

Also, there is less support for other sports in comparison to cricket. Eg-the final match of champions trophy was seen throughout the nation but on the same day, there was a hockey match that was seen by a mere part of the population. This is what lack of support for other sports than cricket is about.

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.

The topic very well portrays the scenario of sports in India. Except for cricket, sports is not encouraged enough as a career in India. This is mainly due to the lack of support.
