The same old saga will repeat this year too. Mr. Srinivasan's report is fully correct. We Indians lack the will to win. Although we claim Cricket to be our religion, we are not even no.1 in that sport too, which is properly played by some 8-9 odd countries. Shame on us!! Inspite of all this we bark "CHAK DE INDIA"

Shantanu,Where were you before Olympic ????
The Indian public / Indian sponcers all are busy appreciating criket... Sports Minister (Criket Minster) only had a time for criket.
When School children represent respective states for C.K.Naidu Criket tourment they were accomodated in luxury hotel and all other facilities. But when athletes represent respective states for School National / Inter State / Inter university athletic meet they were accomodate in some vaccate school with an advise to use only floor to sleep.
There is no encourgement... athletes with gold medal are recruited by para military / defence force as NCO ( Soldier cadre ) with megree salary where as criket players appointed as Bank officers.
For this pathetic situation of athletic and other sports all India public / sponcers / goverment everybody is responsible.
This article is wrong... and don't talk about number of Indian population when Olympic comes. INDIANS !! CONCENTRATE FOR CRIKET AND CRIKET... SINCE YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR OTHER SPORTS.. SO DON'T DEMAND...
