British athlete get a lot of funding, german athletes can only dream to get such a good funding, they dont need that much prize money.

Guys, any chance we can put here the dates of the draws to be conducted this week, i know Wrestling and Taekwando will be before the competitions in the second week.

 

I believe Table Tennis is the 3rd, and Boxing is the 4th. I believe this week we also have Fencing, Judo and Tennis, are there dates? also are there links anywhere to see it live? i know there was link for the Table Tennis draw, not sure about any of the others

Look what this guy from India (apparently) got for his bronze medal in 2012. Crazy ...

I think this is the main reason why so many athletes from poor countries decide to dope, who wouldnt?

 

But one also has to consider that a gold medal at the Olympics is a much "bigger thing" for India or Indonesia than even for smaller European countries like Hungary (let alone US,UK, China, Germany, France, etc.).
In my ctry it was considered a catastrophe that at Beijing we only won 3 golds. To put that in perspective this is exactly the half of the total gold medal haul of Indonesia from 1960 to 2012 (all of them in badminton). India has 9 gold medals to date from 1920 to 2012 (8 of them in field hockey)
