[1] Michael Phelps has won 18 Gold medals with 9 individual goal medals in last 2 Olympics games, the number of gold medals is same which India as a country has won in last 85 years.
[2] Saina Nehwal has not won the bronze medal in London 2012 badminton, it's just she was lucky that the Chinese world No.2 got injured and had to leave the match, the Chinese player was much ahead and was winning the match for bronze medal.
[3] Indian boxer Vikas Krishna was declared a looser after 5 hours of the win in which he was declared the winner, the reasons given were ridiculous and still Indian boxing federation didn't lay a strong vote of injustice to the International boxing federation.
[4] Vijay kumar, who gave India silver medal in rapid pistol shooting said, "I was able to win a medal because I was not known to the Indian media, they didn't knew me and so I was able to perform very comfortably."
Which tells us how much negative role does the Indian media plays in the preparations of the athletes. Ex: Bindra & Vijendra are out, who were followed by the Indian media every where.
[5] Politics has fucked and sucked everything of this country, including the games sector but if we ignore that we can easily see that the Indian athletes lack the winning instinct/desire, see Deepika Kumari, the world no.1 archer who took her qualification round so lightly that she was easily defeated by a archer placed much below her in ranking, also the Indian hockey team which lost ever match they played in their group.
So that's what India has in it, that's what this country revolves around, spending money don't guarantee medals, but a planned infrastructure does.
See China, when we see them they say,
"देखो हम कहाँ पहुच गए और तुम कहाँ रह गए, अब हम हनसेंगे और तुम रोओगे |"
Well I have no hopes that my country will progress in decades to come, yes if we get a good political leadership we can still be the world's best.
Hopes are always alive :))
