I agree, with your statement on " We always tell participation is important than winning" there itself, we give all our players a consolation price.
The energy and spirit of winning is not there. As every sports person should understand that they have been qualified or given a wild card to participate to play in olympics to show the best performance and win the battle. though its a sport, there needs to be a balance in winning and loosing.
Every Olympics, comes after 4 years. Chinese train their sports personalities by telling them that win. its your 4 years of hard work.
We say participate thats a big thing. shame! Enjoyed your article.keep writing.
