India don't have the advanced doping tech or financial backing in sports to excel. Not the right platform. When that changes it will get better. 

I would have been happy with 1 and we got 3. All good.

We have more than enough to win 10-15 medals. Don't tell me we don't. Watch Prakash Padukone's interview.

Millionaire Indian cricketers lack killer instinct and that swag so in that context can’t blame athletes. It’s a mindset issue.

In Rio also ACL injury. She was winning her QF against a Chinese there.

 

Cursed.

China don't do **** In any physically demanding team sport. 

 

They do well in all the individual sports that doesn't require a combination of strength power and speed particularly contact team sport. 

 

Weightlifting and a few others they do good but that's individual and again no contact.

I think the 100g is over the weight limit tolerance not just 100g over weight. However I wonder why it wasn’t discovered a couple of games before.

It's 10000% mental strength. They say doping helps with mental strength. Maybe we need to inject some high quality peds. Why not?

*ins usa Aussies France China all abuse peds.

China picks skill games and absolutely nail it. They go for total excellence and perfection. 
 

Indians want that medal doesn’t matter even if it is bronze.

 

It’s a mindset issue.

Chinese are better than us in wrestling. Calm down, arrogance doesn't suit us when we have 3 bronze medals to show for......1 bronze per half billion people is bad whichever way you look at it.

[Kron]

Let's goo team india doubles let's goo kill them girls. 

 

We need to invest more in women's sports too.

 

Hopefully more funding in men's wrestling boxing in the long run.

I am sure Chinese govt gives belt treatment to any athlete who loses a little bit of focus. in India athletes without some fame get away with anything.

They have qualified for the FIFA WC football. Their women do it regularly. Not sure what you're talking about. Their women hockey team became Asian Games champs and are in the SFs I think.

But some of our main wrestlers dint compete. 

 

China is better in which weight class? Pipsqueak weight class? 

 

Women's yea ok I will give them that. 

 

Again it's due to their government. They have a state sponsored doping program and better funding. 

 

We are the nz of cricket now in olympics. 4th place mostly.

They should have taken the weight before first match.

 

I can understand she was found using banned substances after matches but common taking weight after  so many matches.

 

What a stupid rule.

[bharathh]

All this moaning doesn't help. We need better systems and planning in place to keep a constant pipeline of athletes ready for games. It's happening in Badminton and Shooting. Need to replicate that and get mental conditioning to get ppl to become champions and not just medallists. 

 

First of all though - need to remove politicians from sporting bodies. That is not going to happen in the first place - so we will just have to keep struggling and crawling towards success. No other option.

Even the dumbf**kistans surrounding Russia regularly win medals . They just focus on one or two sports like wrestling and judo and win there. Even worst case we should be winning 6 or 7.

[Number]

Multi medal sports

 

Archery 

Shooting

Wrestling

Boxing

Badminton

TT

Athletics

 

Then we have

Hockey and an outside chance in Golf.

 

Things won't change overnight but these 9 sports we should look to get better to a level that in each of them we are in contention for 1 gold.

that will never happen. Even if sportsmen/women run the organization they will either be affiliated to politics or they will be pupeteered by some politician. We tend to forget that  Roger Binny is the BCCI president not Jay Shah

Yea true. In women sports they seem good. But their parents encourage it from a young age.
