Indian contingent included 75 contestants, 45 support staff and other political functionaries, who have made the Indian Olympic Association their fiefdom. One really needs to analyse, how may were real contestants among those 75 and how many just went to enjoy!
Btw, we have a unique way of 'handling' our sport persons.. a case in point is Monika Devi, and the way she was picked like a fly, I really don't have a faith in the Indian Olympic Association. What an embarrassment ! 2 days before she is supposed to leave, IOA says that she has failed dope test and refuses to send her to Olympics. After 2 more days, IOA clears her name from dope scandal, but says, its now too late for her to catch the bus. Who are these people, who play with the lives of people, who have been working on for years together, to participate in the Olympics? What a shame. All those including Kalmadi and Sports Minister should actually be hanged in public. The way Monica was 'set up', needs a thorough investigation and the guilty needs to be punished 'in public'. The ever barking media, who gets into a tizzy to report absolute shit all through day and night, has chosen to keep quiet in this episode. One really needs to carry out a sting operation to know, how do the TV channels frame their stories for the day.
So... we participated in the Olympics. Sania Mirza and Sunita Rao, God knows, why they went there, if Sania had not recovered from Wrist injury. Why didn't the same people raise a red flag, before sending her to Beijing?
Read the list of countries who wont the medals....
- Kenya - 5 Gold and 14 total
- Ethiopia - 4 Gold and 7 total
- Slovakia - 3 Goal and 6 total ......
So fellas, relax ! Even if we win another medal 60 years down the line.... we would have done our bit for the country!
