Actually the point is how you nurture them and treat them, example was Khade if sponsors or job security was provided he would have been a outstanding swimmer and more medals would have achieved. I always say the moment career security is provided all will improve. Money once poured would drastically improve the results. A sport like Kabbadi where one gets 1.5cr for 4 months is a wonderful moment. 7 players getting 1cr mark is a great thing. then you can attract youngsters to the game. See very soon new stars will emerge and already there. Same we need to pour money and these youngsters need proper guidance and training to enhance their performance. Diet and proper training with correct security is the need of the hour which India don't provide. Hence there is no proper transition happening.

Just went through Volleyball Olympic qualification and found that India has a great chance to enter the final qualification rounds for the first time. Top 24 not qualified after continental championships plus the host go into qualifying rounds. 6 groups each of 4 teams and the top team in each group qualifying for the Olympics. Looks the best system for Olympic qualifications. Indian men team are at 38 place in 2017 ranking list and has time till Jan 2019 to come inside top 31 to make the cut. But the sorry state of Indian volleyball meant that our ranking would have crashed badly and would be rock bottom on Jan 2019. So unfortunate that our team had best chance to be playing for a spot and not making it.
