Indian Olympics Dream!!!!

[arp2041]

MODS IT IS MY HUMBLE REQUEST TO MAKE THIS THREAD STICKY TILL THE OLYMPICS GET OVER

With around 50 days to go for London Olympics Indian athletes are all set to do the nation proud. This can be India's best Olympics ever, since past performance are clearly favoring a change in India's medal tally........

1. This will be India's largest ever contingent ever to the Olympics with 75 athletes (more will be added) taking part in 13 sports in the games.

2. India had the best ever commonwealth performance in 2010 with second rank just behind Australia.

3. India had the best ever (in terms of total medals) Asian games in 2010.

4. India had the best ever olympic performance in last olympics in Beijing (with 1 gold, 2 bronze medals)

There are many medal prospects in the current Indian contingent, with special eye on performance of these players:

1. Saina Nehwal
2. Mary kom
3. Vijendar Singh
4. Sushil kumar
5. Abhinav Bindra
6. Gagan Narang

& many more.............

Not only this our Hockey team has recovered from the setback of not qualifying in the last instalment & is fully charged up this time around winning bronze in just concluded Azlan Shah hockey cup.

These 75 athletes carry the hope of 1.2 billion people. Last time we came at 50th rank......what will be it now????

Who said power in today's world is measured in terms of military strength, in today's world where direct military conflict is thing of the past & nearly impossible, nations compete to show there power & prosperity in Olympics...

this is true to a large extent as US was called the sole superpower since it nearly always came rank 1 in medal's tally, now it is seeing China as a threat b'coz in last games, US was displaced by China for Numero Uno position.

When I was a kid, our school organized an Indian movie shown inside my school used as a moral lecture. The movie is about Pilavullakandi Thekkevarambil Usha, so I used to have this impression that India was pretty strong in track and field, what happened since then?
