5 Reasons why we should not expect India to win a Medal

not expect India to win a medal

CRICKET-THE ONLY SPORT

Indian_cricket_teamWe don’t consider anything other than cricket (football, tennis and hockey to an extent) as a sport. Had this Olympics clashed with Cricket World Cup instead of India-West Indies cricket series, I doubt if I would’ve watched as many events in Olympics as I did. None of us give any importance to athletics at the national scene. Is there a rowing competition? Do the rowers have enough promotion?

All the major brands sponsor cricket and get cricketers promote them. Hence, cricket is never short of funding. However, the brands generally don’t sponsor other events or sportspersons barring a few. This is because as common people we don’t follow these sports. Fundamentally, the problem starts with us.
