many of our guys are trained from an early age hitting for mangoes. village people are even better.

 

Haan hitting targets like Mangoes or other random things with "gulel" is quite widespread

No interest in watching any other nation play except India and some athletic events. With aus I will watch maybe hockey that's it. 

 

Bmx looks fun though.

China pumps so much money to do well in Olympics. All artificial, manufactured, fake, just for national pride.

 

If they were a good sporting nation why can't they crack a single team sport? Football, hockey, cricket, rugby, volleyball, basketball, heck even baseball, where are they? India has reached the pinnacle in cricket, hockey, across several decades. 

 

India's path will be more organic like the western countries. And that is how it should be. 

I really liked their approach to Swimming though... Made it compulsory to clear competitive exams say NEET or JEE type.

Always had top notch infrastructure thanks to 18 trillion dollar economy.

Simon Biles is so far ahead, everyone else is competiting for second place.

choor chandu (piece ball) don’t know why it was called that. It is played more like playing tag. The kid who gets “out” has to hit another with the ball. The one who gets hit it is “out” next. One can dodge-weave-bend and avoid getting hit. That small rubber golf-ball sized ball would really hurt when hit. 

 

any ball hit at that pace will sting. it was good that it was made of rubber. if it was cricket ball or far worse a hockey ball, it could result in some serious consequences. so going by your words, its quite popular in other states as well. im not joking when i say this. this can be put forward by India as an olympic event. lets see what happens. its way better than synchronized c0ck sucking as @Kron likes to call it.

I have full respect for the hockey gold medalists. This maybe a cricket forum but they are much better and under appreciated than 1983 and 2011 world cup squads. even fatman and lolhi (who got a world cup finally) get more recognition than our gold medalists. My dad always preferred hockey over cricket. He aprreciated the fast pace of hockey. there never is a dull moment like in cricket. He used to say cricket is for the unathletic pudgy people. Gavaskar and Sahstri have made that impression on him

If trimmed to 70 mins, even cricket won't have any dull moment l.

I respect diving. Great skill. 

I respect swimming but why Synchronised swimming and Synchronised diving?? Makes no sense. Just to satisfy the whims of mad goras who just want to add random medals to their tallies. Pointless sport. 

 

 

Artistic swimming like f off lmao. Go dance instead.

great to know some honor is there in olympic athletes. if it was gbr/aus/can/nz/usa, they would have exploited the kenyan's lack of not knowing and win it at any cost. not only that, they would have justified it

These goras hype up netball and handball, make Hollywood movie about dodgeball. Have they heard of our Indian 'pittu'? Our schoolboys will beat their best.
