India face shame in opening ceremony of Sochi Games

[Edevelop]

SOCHI (Russia): India will face the ignominy of witnessing three of its athletes march without the national flag during the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics on Friday night.

With the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) due to ethical and administrative reasons, luger Shiva Keshavan, Alpine skier Himanshu Thakur and cross-country skier Nadeem Iqbal will have to walk behind the IOC flag.

The Indian athletes will compete under the "independent athletes" category and will be represented under the Olympic flag.

It will be an embarrasing situation for India as billions of people all over the world tune in to witness the opening ceremony to be held at the Fisht Olympic Stadium.

The IOA was suspended by the IOC in December, 2012 due to its failure to comply with the Olympic charter. It has resulted in Indian athletes, including boxers, participating in events under the flag of world body.

Field hockey
Main article: Field hockey in India
Field hockey was considered to be the national game of India, but this has been recently denied by the Government of India, clarifying on a Right to Information Act (RTI) filed that India has not declared any sport as the national game.

National sport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A recent RTI has revealed that India has no national game. Earlier, field hockey (a sport India won eight Olympic gold medals) enjoyed the special status. But, how can we, a country of more than a billion people, stay without a national game.

After the sudden disclosure, Indian sports have lost a bit of identity as a national sport is considered to be an intrinsic part of the culture of a nation. The reason for the 'no national game' status can be attributed to the downslide of Indian hockey in the last three decades. The abysmal status of management of hockey affairs strengthens the relegation of the game from the coveted status.

Suresh kalmadi and Bhanot are responsible for this. when their role in the CWG scams were being probed they went to IOC complaining that there was 'interference' from the govt- a strict no no for the IIOC under all circustances, The resultant fist fight where the two clowns actually tried to make a comeback resulted in this drastic situation. Somebody please HANG them. they stole money meant for athetes and stadiums, shamed India in CWG and now this!!!
