As the Olympics have been just finished on a extraordinary
note and everyone bid adieu it with a promise to do better in Rio Olympic. Every
Indian fan has followed India in London Olympics, some with the pride and
others along with the expected lines of frustration. As the media ”which is the
strongest part of our country like any other countries” had created a hype in the Indians for the
Olympics .
Every Indian had expected that this time INDIA will surely
perform well and make its presence felt at the international stage. The Indian
Olympic association sent the first ever largest contingent in Olympics which
raised our hopes of winning more medals.
We are familiar with the winning and losing character of
sport that is what makes following the fortunes of one’s country in an event
like Olympics that was much more intense and exciting. Much was expected from
our archers and some of the boxing hopefuls but those disappointments don’t
hurt as much as the hockey debacle.
When the Olympics 2012 were finished on 12th August then we Indians were happy
that we have won 6 medals which is the highest ever medal haul in INDIAN
history. But if we dwelt the result of London Olympic than we get to know that It
was an another disappointing show by the country after its unprecedented
success at the Commonwealth and Asian Games in 2010. For this many reasons has
been given in the media and newspaper by the sports expert, Columnist and many
high level official.
The government also spent the highest ever amount of money
for the training of athletes abroad under renowned coaches in United States and
Europe. But it was the same old story for India with the country finishing
without a medal as has been the case in the past and leaving the biggest
sporting arena without making its presence felt in athletics, one of the major
attractions in these multi-discipline extravaganzas.
Indian archer team which includes the world champion Dipika
Kumari is even failed to give a strong competence in the bout to the
competitor. Indian pugilist as expected had performed well but unfortunately it
was disappointing that none of them were not able to book the semifinal berth.
The biggest disappointment in the Olympic 2012 was the early
exit of the Indian hockey team. Though hockey being national game we finished
at the bottom of the table which was a shame for calling ourselves as a hockey
champion. The main reason for this was the conflict between India hockey and Indian
hockey federation. Because of this the Indian players have to suffer. These
kind of matters should have been resolved by the government.
In Tennis India had a fair chance of winning a medal but due
to the conflicts between Indian tennis players
the Indian journey in the tennis had ended in the second round. These
At last we would be very thankful to the Recent Indian star
of London games that now they will inspire the millions of people to take the
sports seriously. In the country like INDIA we Indians especially parent thinks
that a student can only be succeeded by the studies which are the main concern
for Indian sports.
Overall we cannot say that it was a disappointing show by the
Indians in the London games but we could have performed well if our archers,
hockey and tennis players had done better. But now by the results of London
games the expectation to do well in the game has been raised. Our honorable
Sports Minister Mr. Ajay Makan had also said that by 2020 we will able to win
20 gold medals.
