Why am I not surprised by ? 

 

Another ridiculous performance from our athletics team. Fortunately, Bonfim and Alison can mask these shameful results as always.

Athletes spend the entire season achieving better results, evolving, and then, when the major championships arrive, they perform mediocrely.

I'm curious what you had expected at this stage in the championships, other than a medal that's already been won?

@rafalgorkaStill not as bad as who must be the worst country when it comes to population-to-sport success ratio. Chopra is an outlier but they don't seem to care about anything other than cricket, field hockey and perhaps badminton. I seem to recall there were a few shooters too but that is about that.

Yes. But at least i have a feeling India will improve a lot in olympic sports in next 10 years or sth. But Bangladesh sadly no, im afraid

I've once made a list of 'worst Olympic countries ever' (of course you can't say that as a fact, so it is based on opinion together with numbers) and Bangladesh ended up on top (or bottom, however you look at it)  

 

Followed by Bolivia, btw. If you look at population-to-sport success ratio alone, China is also awful, they should win a majority of all Olympic medals with their population, but that's of course not the only thing that matters  

 

India at least does have some success in some sports, here and there. To compare them with Bangladesh is a bit unfair: look at the Asian Games alone, 183 golds vs....well, 1.
