I believe Mr.Rajeev srinivasan should read your piece and then have a good look at what he has written.His reference to anju george is almost bordering on insult, she is the only Indian athlete to have won a medal in world championship in track and field, if she cannot better that its not her problem. the issue is that she is probably the 10th or 15th best in the world but always manages to do better than expected, and Mr.Srinivasan should aknowledge that You cannot be number one just because you want to, there is something called talent and physique(especially for an athlete)which are equally important. the atheletes who are doing better than anju are more talented , better built and get heaps of money to develop their game.If you are a british giral and you get a bronze in one championship , you are sponsored for the next 50 by the sports authorities.What did anju get for the bronze?
