A quiz for those who are praising Sania for her (great!) performance... (1)Who was the first person from India to win an Individual medal at the Olympics? (2) India has produced world champions in a few individual sports (not team sports) - what are these games and who are the champs?

wel abraham, for the quiz it was khashaba kadhav in 1956 who won a bronze in 'kusti' and its been billiards, snooker, chess, etc in which we have produced world champions.
now for the hype part.. ok it might not be great that sania reached semi and final of tier 3 and tier 2 event.. and lost in tier 1 event in 4th round.. but on the way she did beat 4 players in top 20.. so if u consider her performance in past year or so.. this one looks good.. ok stop calling her great player but atleast she is in top 35 of world tennis players.. isnt that a achievement for an indian tennis player where singles players havent even featured in tier 1 event apart from exception of pace or ramesh krishnan and amrutraj brothers..let alone grand slams.. let her be where she is.. atleast she is tryin with all her limitations.. we can cheer for her even if she is far away from sharapova..

Mayur, why don't ppl like you cheer for Leander. He has won so many grand slams for india compared to Sania. there will always be more crowd to see sania compared to Leander. I dont see any logic, well except one...

Well, there are more champions.. in badminton, remember? By the way I get irked because the press does not like others who do well.. remember a lady called Sania Nehwal? She is the first Indian Woman to have won a 4 star badminton championship - the 2006 philippines open. Why doesn't she get similar coverage? There is more to media coverage than performance!

abhiram you are fit as a quiz master, please do continue , i hope media will focus on you, praising is a positive quality of a human being, please learn the same, even at your home or office, or friends , when they don't praise for the good things you do, you get depressed. ok
