Indian sports candidates having good strength, coaching & few good facilities. Management or selection team may not be doing their work excellently then where the problem or root cause is? Olympic Games are time based sports. Totally depends on time. (Few seconds and fraction of seconds.)
Most of the Indians r not punctual about timing. Politicians, employees, trains, flights, buses everywhere there is delay. Then how come sports person become punctual about time?
But India is one of the good cricket playing country, because cricket is in hours with lunch, drinks, rest, tea time etc.
IT WAS EXPECTED!!! OUR SPORTSMEN WILL COME BACK EMPTY HANDED... DO WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PERFORM??? NO... WE HAVE SENT THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CLOSENESS WITH POLITICIANS AND NOT THE PERFORMERS. PEOPLE LIKE KALMADEE NEED TO BE SENT HOME PACKING WITH HARD KICKS ON THEIR BACKS. WHAT HAS THIS MAN DONE FOR THE SPORTS ASSOCIATION OF INDIA. HE IS A BENCHWARMER ...A SHAMELESS ADMINISTRATOR WHO NEEDS TO BE FIRED.
ITS HIGH TIME NOW. WE NEED TO RESTORE OUR PRIDE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE..

this is not true ... the atheletes are the best that India has, just not better than everyone else who is participating.
First time an American of Indian origin is in the US Gym team. Hope more Indians are encouraged and motivated by Raj Barsar to train for Gymnastics. India should get a Russian and Chinese coach to train Indians in Gym.

not the first time...in 2004 there was a woman of Indian origin in the US team --- Mohini Bharadwaj ---"Go Moh". FYI the US 2008 men's team also includes a guy of Chinese origin
this is what is expected of sprtspersons representing a country like India where, cricket is a religeon. we are not having minimum facilities for in villages where nearly 70% of population exists. todays schools and collecges in urban areas do not have space even for conducting school functions. we are to be blamed for this low performances in sports other than cricket

Let us not benchmark ourselves against others. Why do you say we are to blame? What is there to be blamed for? 99% of India are not interested in Sports, 99% do not care for the performances, they have other concerns. So where is the question of blame when the matter is something very few feel about.
So don't be negative.
It's like saying the average Indian is 6 inches shorter than the average European and we are to blame for that!!
what kind of team is india selected and sending them to the suh abig event,where india not able to win a olympic medal,our only hope is leander paes and mahesh bhupati.only these guy can succeed and make india proud

Why don't you, Kalmadi and the Gandhi family go there and win some medals? The archers did not disgrace themselves. You did by putting that message.

how does the Gandhi family come into picture? like Vajpayee and Advani have won lots of Olympic medals.
Vajpayee will win Gold in slow talking and sleeping while at work Advani will win Gold in praising a terrorist country's leaders Jaswant Singh will win Gold in escorting terrosists Yashwant Sinha will win Gold in copying someone else's fiscal policies

Well who had the family get together at the Olympics? And discussed with the Bhutto family about who had more family members die rotten deaths. Cannot be Vajpayee ... Not Advani either ... It is MADAM SONIA watching the Olympics with her family and the BHUTTO family.

WOW guys. not jumping into a debate, but i at this point in time, am happy about is to see people backing up the olympic contingent as heroes. Proud of you all.
Be optimistic and cheer team India in their wins and defeats.
After all, like a famous poet once said, "girte hain shah savaar hee maidan-e-jang mein, woh tifn kya girega jo ghutno ke bal chalta hai."
