'Next goal is Olympic gold and 2028 WC': Suryakumar Yadav after India's T20 WC triumph

But I get your point @Mariyam

 

Some medals are worth more in Olympics, at least in my eyes. 

 

Look at the path a hockey team must go through to land a medal....apart from a tough qualifying stage, they have to play 8+ games in a span of <2 weeks to medal. In a tough field where there are legit 8 medal contenders. 

 

Much tougher than almost all individual sports. I will happily take a hockey bronze over 5 archery/shooting/boxing medals. Because it is that tough to earn it.

Some games are played in only white people nations. Don’t even qualify to be in the Olympics. WTH is Equestrian!!! so lazy.

a Hockey or cricket team has to slog to win a title.

They included break dancing in the last Olympics, just saying. :giggle:

What is the cause of your uncontrollable mirth?

 

Break Dance *is* far more difficult than say a Table tennis.

 

If your arguement is that it is subjective, so is Gymnastics.

 

Break Dance is a welcome addition to the Olympics! India should push for Salsa/Ballet/Synchronised Ballet etc also. And Indian dances eventually.

Great goal to have but am not sure he should be in the team for it. Already the cracks are showing in his game, and unless he really turns it around in a big way, he should retire from T20I cricket by the end of this year.

Kabaddi, Kho Kho, Chess, Mallakhamb, Polo and Ludo should be in the Olympics.

We should definitely include them in our 2030 CWG. Even yoga asanas, carrom, billiards etc. If white countries can do that for their events, we should reply in kind.

 

Btw chess was one of the disciplines when China hosted Asian Games in the past, even in 2022 IIRC.
