Shashi Tharoor questions celebrating Indian athletes winning bronze medals in Tokyo Olympics.


As Indian athletes are making the country proud in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics 2021 by winning medals, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has questioned the celebration over 'occasional bronze' medals at the Olympics.

Taking to Twitter, the senior Congress leader said, "As we in India celebrate the occasional bronze medal at the Olympics, look at the Chinese ultranationalists denouncing their athletes for winning silvers!"

However, Tharoor's tweet on India's performance in the Tokyo Olympics did not go well with netizens who hammered down the politician for his remarks.

Shashi Tharoor says we in India celebrate the occasional bronze medal at the Olympics, look at the Chinese ultranationalists denouncing their athletes for winning silvers.

A user named Prof. Dr. Sanjeev Bagai wrote on Twitter, "This is by far the most bizarre & misplaced statement; Indian athletes have fought COVID19 & still done well, they deserve praise & encouragement; please delete your tweet."

While another user said, "If celebrating the occasional bronze medal is your problem, try to reveal the contents of MoU signed between China and the pariwar, we will celebrate for eternity..."

"Mr. Tharoor China may be role model for the people like you. But India as a whole would never like to emulate them. We will welcome our bronze, silver, and non-medalist and encourage them till they don't turn world champions. We are democratic & not automatic," said another Twitter user Abhishek Dubey.

Indian athletes on Day 13 of the Tokyo Olympics made the nation proud when the Men's Hockey Team ended 41-year medal drought with historic Bronze while Ravi Dahiya took home a silver medal in freestyle wrestling.

Excuse me, which silver medal winner did we condemn?
Considering that we have fewer medals than the USA, any medal is meaningful to us. On the contrary, we don't have to win the gold medal, because our gold medal is much ahead of the USA.
Do Indians not think about the logical paradox when they watch their own news?
If you mean Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin who lost the gold medal of mixed doubles in table tennis.then no one blamed them, because we don't need Olympic gold medals to prove ourselves. We are not a weak country in sports. We can easily win gold medals, so we are not so sensitive and stingy.
Of course, Indians may not understand us. You don't have a gold medal.

No one accused Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin, but someone asked them to retire because they were over 30 years old. Although table tennis players in other countries generally retire at the age of 40, because the internal competition of Chinese table tennis teams is very fierce, they often retire at the age of 30 and give way to young players.

In China, Previous table tennis world champions and Olympic champions, Such as Zhang Yining, Wang Nan, Liu Guoliang and Li Xiaoxia... retired at the age of 30, so it is normal for netizens to ask Liu&Xu to retire.
Young players already have the strength to win the world championship. There is no reason for them to wait.

He's not wrong actually. There's much for us to learn from China even though they may be our adversary.

Yea..no. No they don't.

Shashi Tharoor, one of the Indians I listen to and learn from. He is an odd one, an Indian born without an Indian brain.

the way western propaganda machine works is, they literally take the words of a handful of of wackos in china and act like its the entire country. and since china has over 1 billion people you can pretty much always find someone somewhere in china saying something you can use to put in the propaganda headline. in the event that it takes too long to find said wackos, they will just state "from undisclosed source" or just a general "according to chinese netizens"

Same with India, as far as IT sector is concerned

Learning from adversary is good
