This is good stuff. We are slow but we are progressing and that is what matters. Hopefully our athletes get support through out their tenure, especially the young upcoming athletes, not only during Olympics but earlier than that.

Lakshmanan won gold in 5000 and 10000 m. Great achievement. I don't expect us to do much in athletics in Olympics because of genetics but in Asian Games it will pay rich dividends.

can't believe they came out infront of China, with the massive investment China makes in its sports.
