India grabs three medals
Beijing Olympics 2008....India started off with great expectations.We sent the finest of our shooters hoping to repeat the feat of last olympics.This time the shooters disappointed the country altogether.Except for ABHINAV BINDRA,the man from punjab who earned a gold in shooting which was very unexpected.This was the first individual gold for India in Olympics.
Sayna Nehwal gave us great hopes for badminton.Her dream of a medal was shortlived when she was defeated in the quarter finals.
We even hoped for a medal from tennis duo Paes-Bhupati but they lost in quarter finals.Sania Mirza is always unfit.This time she forfeited the match without even completing it.(going by the current record we couldnt expect anything from her)
Akhil Kumar the Indian boxer firing up when he defeated the world champion,but he too lost and couldnt proceed.. But the wrestler SUSHIL KUMAR was successful in getting an olympic bronze.Similarly VIJENDER KUMAR scored a bronze in boxing.
It was due to these fine sportsmen that India has a medal tally of 1 Gold and 2 Bronze.
Barring Bindra,the other two medallists hail from a poor background with poor facilities at their disposal.Now that they have scored ,politicians and other prominent people will flaunt by declaring prizes.
India has still along way to go.Going by the quality of facilities provided we cant expect our country to fetch anything at the international level.Excluding cricket no other game or sport is provided with satisfactory help.
Inspite of such odds our sportsmen have showed determination and have not let our country down by reurning empty handed.We salute them with pride.
Lets hope and pray for a bright future for our country.(I may sound patriotic but thats the need of the hour)
