Trust Rediff to give us some wrong info...or, maybe they are clairvoyants.
I jus watched the Entire match today against the HongKong Chinese- She has the Amazing ability to win this Olympic medal ... My heartly wishes to saina to succeed ..
While achievements of saina and AB are creditable, it dosent mean to criticise our cricketers, who have brought glory before(like 83 world champions) and also won lots of series. But just ONE bad match, and the public attack the money they make,etc. These guys are heros and also dont forget that they have been representing the country since 1989(sachin vs paki). While saina and AB are just 3-4 yrs in sports. So lets c and hope they 'll continue to bring glory like our criketers sachin, saurav,bhajji etc

because they are a monopoly in sports and monopoly is never good. If a company has monopoly, the US government puts special taxes on it or breaks it down. Cricket takes all of the sports spending and other sports suffer.
champions like Bindra and Saina, thank you for giving us some reason to be happy, otherwise, these indian politicians give us enough reason to cry, cry and cry.

Its shame to waste your tears for them .. Be in Dont care situation :) Agreed, Kudos to the grooming champs !
Now Bindra will become a HERO what he deserves and all officials trail behind him to through accolades which will will hide their HIMALAYAN failure and lackluster attitude for the 29th time. OLYMPICS is mirror to show that our leadership is IMPOTENT Coward Crooks who know only to hide behind "LIKE PEOPLE LIKE LEADER" lame excuse and all they know is to Bleed and Loot the Country. Nobody expects any solutions from the Politicians because they themselves are the most rotten problem of the Nation. Here only Antisocials and Lusty Idiots are allowed to become Politicians and they are good for nothing. Sports is the benchmark of sensitivity and responsibility of the Leadership and here the so called leaders are Dogs who know only to Eat the Taxpayers money and serve their overseas masters to Loot the Nation. OLYMPICS is a shame for the entire NATION.
