Olympics:India's Potential

Hi ! Olympics have finally ended it's 'relay'.How fascinated India would be when her 'Lord Of The Ring' Vijendra & her 'Ace Of Shooters' Abhinav Bindra would touch her soul. For the first time India has made it to more than two medals( The one which Rajyawardhan Singh Rathore won in Olympics 2004 was also significant).

Of course! Everyone is happy. This is the Historical Event for India.Everyone is celebrating,everyone is glad,everyone is proud of Bindra,Vijendra & Sushil Kumar,the jewels on her bosom.The confidence these people have arousen in India's potential of winning the medals in future is inexplicable.Surely , India's potential is infinite; but without being channelised in right direction it would go waste.

Why is it that despite being so talented our sportsmen are often knocked out of such big events? why we moan over the losses when we aren't willing to contribute? The ignorance of our Officials is evident by their absence from Vijendra's medal distributing ceremony. Such a proud moment which embossed his heart when Indian flag was soaring up failed to budge the Officials an inch who always jabber about their contribution to Indian Sports.

It is our ignorance which denies us winning the medals. Lack of funds,coaches,proper training,corruption & pessimistic approach of Government aren't going to help us.Perhaps many our atheletes also don't put their efforts either. Phelps; why not to take inspiration from him & his authorities. He swims seven days a week,eight hours & 33 miles per day. He puts his hundred percent which gives him output of hundred percent.

These three medals finally have rectified our hopes and added flavour of optimism to it.With the showering attention, praises ,funds & popularity on them we can now expect Government to wake up & do something to promote budding talent in our country. There is no lack of talent bearers in India, no lack of potential. In each city, village & lane there are 'shooting stars' waiting for the medal hunt to begin. We need to magnify our view. ( I feel sad for Budhia whose Coach's untimely assasination shattered his hopes for a bright future in atheletics). We are waiting for slow progress of Indian Sports. Slowly & steadily but for sure India's medal tally would increase. Our future is bright. Olympics 2008 is just a beginning. Right input would give us BEST output.Let's expect for a bright future in atheletics.
