Six Billion and One Bronze!

Hi, Friends!

It's good to hear your valuable opinions.

Yes, I do feel the same. Being the 2nd largest population it is really a matter of shame for us that we hardly can manage to achieve 1 bronze (Sakshi Malik) and 1 silver (P V Sindhu). But the major concern is who is to be blamed for the present scenario?

If we look at our administrative system then yes the government does not take any initiative for the budding athletes in order to promote their talents. Due to which their future is dark if sports are chosen as career options in India, this bears a clear testimony why parents stop their children to pursue sports as a career option. The next thing is those who get into sports profession have to struggle a lot. They have to defy the odds in order to seek proper equipment, necessary training etc. So the lack of infrastructure also plays a pivotal role towards the present condition of sports. Poverty can also be blamed because most of the athletes have to kill their interest and give up because of their financial stature. Thus I feel that the government is totally responsible for the present scenario. If politics is taken out from sports and talent is given opportunity then I surely believe that India will perform better and bring glory to our nation.

India had won six medals last Olympics. The number has come down to just two this time with PV Sindhu Sakshi Malika and Dipa missing closely on a medal. Who is to be blamed. The sports infrastructure in India is not sufficient to support athletes to compete at a global standard. Also, youth who look into sports as a career as scared by the financial security which other options offer them. Our population may be large and talent may be good too but many cannot afford these training facilities to compete at a global level.

According to my opinion, sports person and athletes have given their best out of bounds under the current conditions of sports in India. Every year on Feb 28 Union budget is presented by our finance ministry, this time also major part of budget highlights only FDI, infrastructure, and industries. No emphasis is given on education as well as in sports sector. It is a bitter truth that condition of sports in Indian is critical. Sportsperson do not get proper equipment, diet and also coaches. They are asked to get their own private coaches, even knowing that athletes do not belong to a rich family. Moreover, they do their practice at a place with poor infrastructure, where condition of drinking water is really bad. Even in that conditions, they are giving their best. Salute!

Hello, this is Yoganand Katuri.

Wanted to speak few words regarding the given line "SIX BILLION AND ONE BRONZE".

Firstly the population is not in a matter of this kind of information because all depends upon the enhancing of talents in national level. So the person with good practise and concentration regarding certain sport may have chance giving tough competition to opponents and win a medal. Mainly we are responsible not winning the medals because everyone is interested in engineering and medicine rather playing any game. Lack of infrastructure is also another reason for fewer participants in games. Parents should allow the students to learn some sports/games so that they know something about the game, we never expect everyone to participate in Olympics and their conducting way. Mainly every one of must supports them, encourage them rather than knowing only their results and negatives.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, this is Yogananda.

My suggestion on this topic is we have 1.252 billion people in India. But we get total of 6 medals (2 silver and 4 bronze). We so many talented persons are there but they have no money political power. It full based on caste & recommendation and influence and politics. Of course, its international but money can do this.

Yes, there is not denying the fact that ''after having a huge population India is not able to win more medal in Olympic and other international sport. Now India's population is exceeding day by day, in upcoming years it will lag China behind, so the question arises here that what are the reasons that India is lagging in sports, the very first answer is ''interest what I observed is that in India, people are not so much interested in sports. They would like to spend their time illicit work instead of game, next is, awareness there are several sports that are playing around the world but we are not so aware of it, so awareness should b on the top'' ''next is fund because playing sport is not an easy cup of tea that anyone can come & join the crowd. It require proper strategy and clear vision so only it could be possible to participate last but not the least politic because in India, in whichever sector we are lagging behind is just because of our political system, everytime they always found remain in their own caste, creed, custom, communities, culture, or concession etc, soo if they will remain busy on their own so where they will bring the time for sport person, so I'm in a very opinion if we want to win moe and more medal soo it's a time when we will have to push our authorities instead of depending upon them''.

Hello all;.

The Indian sportsperson performance at the Olympics was very regrettable. Due to many problems, India lagging in sports that are funding, sponsorship and training facilities. Most of the sportsperson coming from poor families, they had no source to participate in the sports events. And we also see in many villages, children having more talent in sports but they did not know how to utilise their talent. So they stopped there like a bus. Therefore, In order to curb this problem, we have to create an awareness about sports from school days. Teachers not only encourage the education but also encourage the sports and talented children. The government also takes the responsibility of the funds and talented sportspersons to prove their talent in international sports events.

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.

Six billion and one bronze! That is what the topic contains too many reasons, of course, this ratio is negligible, first of all, awareness is must, I mean to say due to lack of awareness regarding sports, its competitions, and most important is scholarship in sports availed by government is the major reason, second thing is mob irrespective of talent, the one having a talent or ability in any sport activity are pulled by family, this is the matter of lack of assurance to family, which can be improved by awareness camps and fruitful facility to family.

There are many reasons behind it.

Our country gives importance only to one sport and that is cricket. Cricket takes all the fans and there remains no one to encourage or motivate our athletes.

Politics has also degraded our sports culture. In our country, deserving people get less chance to flash their talent. Also corruption is one of the reason.

Our sportsmen don't get better platform or infrastructure for practice. The conditions in our country is also not good.

But still we can overcome this problem by people's support, we need awareness, lots of student who want to pursue their dream in sports field don't get enough family support. According to parents sports is just a hobby and its not a source of better income.

Its all about mindset, if we people change our mindset towards sports then we can develop and improve much faster in almost every sports.

Cricket is like a religion for our people still we see lot of politics even there too. Our government need to take serious steps towards the enhancement of sports by providing opportunities and better platforms yo us.

Let's hope for the best in coming years.
