...Why do we even send our sportsmen and women to participate in Athletics. Take for instance Anju Bobby George. She has been featured as India's brightest medal prospect in athletics and what does she do ? She does a FOUL jump in all 3 chances she gets on the Big day !!
I mean, I don't expect the guys to win medals with all the problems they face back home and more...but....I do expect them to do their best. This is the stage, where you should exceed your personal best and try and compete with the other champs. But do our guys do? No one even reaches their personal best and are well below par of their own standards !!
Why does that happen ? May be they have lost the race before they start it...that is not what we expect of them !!
Learn a thing or two from our BOXERS..they are fighting hard..hope we secure a medal or two tomorrow ! AMEN

Let the Games begin
...so I have finally found some time out of my busy day to write a blog....and what else than an Olympic to write about.
Though, I am not a great fan of the country named "China", the Olympic moment is beyond all boundaries. I am keen to see how India performs in this one. Though, this seems to be best team India has ever sent to the Games, I have my hopes pinned on the shooting team and the boxing team
I am expecting, more than 1 medals in the shooting event. The shooters really look confident and the team is indeed pretty STRONG. I have, unfortunately, no hopes from the Tennis team. Only a miracle, will help Paes and Bhupati win a medal with almost no practice. They did play in couple of tournaments, but they did not even reach the quaters in any of those. They are clearly beyond their peak and passion does not take you far enough. Though, I will be equally proud to see them win a medal.
Medals in any other event, like Badminton, will be a great add-on.
So....Let the Games Begin !...and we will sit back and Enjoy !!
