Still atleast a week for the olympics to finish and indian participation only left in wrestling and badminton and maybe few athletics event. Thats what is the difference between good sporting nations. Today only one wrestler and a badminton match is there. For india to be sporting nation we must participate and popularize sport such as judo fencing swimming which are so popular througout the world and earn us medals. Its so sad that almost all our contingent is out and the games are far from over.

Another thing is instead of taking inspiration from china we must first take inspiration from countries like iran and other african countries who participate in few sports but make sure they win a medal in that event.

They train their athletes with the beat coaches. Iran is a superpower in wrestling and weightlfting and they will take the medals in that event. Likewise india whose sports awareness started at the 2008 olympics we were at the same stage as iran but now look at the difference iran is participating in sports and playing with the big boys.

Even if we start supporting our athletes now and finding new ones we will surely reach double count in tokyo. Sports to look at is swimming,judo,fencing,diving,rowing and we must keep getting better at what we r doing.

Thanks for letting us put our thought on this thread.

There is no better substitute to having a wide pool of athletes across disciplines...swimming is a huge discipline with lots of medal events...

But, for that we need someone like deepa doing something for indian swimming...

You are absolutely right. There was saina to turn kids into badminton, deepa karmarkar now has opened door for gymnastics in india. We need some star in swimming.

Badminton is in safe hands of gopi and for doubles the new malaysian coach needs time to produce results. We have lot of boys coming up but I'm worried about girls. sania mostly will retire after 2020 tokyo and only we have sindhu. They should groom a bunch to replace both of them for long term.

Shooting we have ability and we should be consistent. Archery- I heared someone saying that techique of womens team is not so good according to the korean coach. I feel mens team is better placed as we have atanu and atul verma. Boxing - drastic changes should be made.

We have lot of potential in north east and we should tap into it. It is high time.

As I had feared, WADA has appealed clean chit to Narsingh. Special bench of CAS in Rio will hear his case. There is a very real chance that he won't be allowed to compete in Rio (and of course no one will be allowed to replace him)

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
