5 Reasons why we should not expect India to win a Medal
SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS
As Indians, we have short term memory loss. More so, when it comes to sporting events in Olympics. We all know the few glamorous participants who will be the face of India at Olympics. In the Indian contingent of 120 odd, we hardly know more than 10 to 15 Olympians. We get to know a few more on the day of their events. But as soon as Olympics gets over, we forget all but the glamorous participants. Who cares about athletics or archery for the next 4 years? We don’t know any national winner.
It is the support that an athlete craves just like a performer, the support that lifts one every time one falls. That’s the difference between home and away atmosphere. We expect them to win medals, but fail to provide them the support even at home during the nationals and other events before every Olympics.
