waste of time and money. Though Indians should take part in athletic sports for health and fitness reasons. We should popularise Yoga, running , cycling and other in expensive sports for every body to take part for our selves and not just for winning Olympic medals.

Calspadeaspade,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...

Shilpa, your cut and paste is so irrelevant to what I wrote. I said Olympics is BUllshit. Most of the winners take steroids. How ever we need all these events for our selves for fitness. If people love cricket that is the way it is. After Vishvanathan Anand lot of youngsters have taken to chess. After sanya lot of girls are playing tennis. You need a champ of at least some level to motivate others and create interest.
