Finally Indians have settled with 1 Gold and 2 Bronze. Abhinav Bindra who won First Individual Gold for the country has become( now just after a month I should rather say became) the sparkle of the eye.
Some analysists had predicted that India will win 6 medals in these games. People might say that just three medals to a country of 1.2 Billion plus population is a shame but I think it is a lot better than the previous Games in Athens(2004) where we got 1 Silver(Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore) or in Sydney(2000) where we got 1 Bronze(Karnam Malleshwari).
This time India got a medal each in Shooting, Boxing and Wrestling. I would like to stress the contribution of Mittals Champions Trust set up by Laxmi Mittal who sponsored Abhinav Bindra and some other athletes. But the stage is set for a lot better prformance in 2012 London Games where the actual results of the trust will pour in. Also Bindra's Gold has given a much needed thrust to Indian Sports.
I am writing this post almost a month after the Beijing Olympics 2008 ended. I especially wanted to see as to what response do these Olympic Heroes get from the cricket savvy nation of ours. But ALAS!!!

I appreciate your blog. Keep writing brother! Well written:)
i liked your blog thats true that we are improved frm wht we are in previous games n if we continue to work like this we will no way behind frm other countries
Your blog says we have to perform better in London games 2012. But don't you think we as the youth of the country will have to put in more effort to give a clean platform to the talented lot. Lets not leave the responsibility alone on Laxmi Mittal. Let us take a bit of responsibility and make things happen. Let us form a team and work together in searching a talent and taking it forward
wel writen bolg...i agree dat india is doing beter dan be4 !!
I am checking this blog almost after 4 years! Thanks for all your comments.
I had written this blog 4 years back because one of those days I was looking for events of Indian at Olympics and realized coverage was not proper.
Hopefully this time that should not be the case. :)
