Happy with the gold. But I don't think it'll be easy for gold in Paris for Neeraj unless he improves further to 90+. A NR in steeplechase for Parul was good. Long jumpers have been dissapointing. Not entirely happy with the overall performance.

Don't forget the excellent performance from your men's 4x400m squad. 5th and 6th in javelin throw as well.

Not sure what the point of this comparison is? Pakistan has a much bigger population.

Medals at the athletics world championships:

India (1.5 billion people): 1

Norway (5.4 million people): 4

 

Norway has roughly 0.3 % of the indian population, but 4 times as many medals.

So with the flurry of world championships and Olympic quotas over, we can all have a week to relax watching the US Open ready for the Rowing World Championships next week right?

Fail to win a single medal at the championship 

The only indian athlete that won a medal (Chopra) has a german coach (Klaus Bartonietz).

Yep, although September is another really busy month in terms of qualification. Things get a litle bit more sedate after that for a few months.

South Korea with only 1 top 8 result, they are in the same boat as Germany to some degree. Obviously South Koreans have reached a new evolutionary stage. They just don't give a fuck about childish games. Most countries need sports as a replacement for war though. Also interesting that Denmark is pretty much nonexistant in sports.

Last time I've checked, coaches aren't athletes
