5 reasons why we should not expect India to win a medal.

LACK OF FUNDING

funding Majority of the athletes who represent India suffer from poverty and astute conditions. These athletes have feature phones and practice gymnastics on plain carpet. They don’t even have in-house doctors. They don’t have sponsors and hence can’t afford foreign tournaments that would give them exposure and knowledge of techniques. Hence, majority of the Indian Olympians have a job and practice for Olympics only as part time. Newspaper and media agencies use their humble stories to get TRP ratings.

I hope that the government gives each of the participant 10 to 15 lakhs irrespective of the results. Representing India in Rio Olympics 2016 is itself an achievement for majority of the athletes and I wish they can lead a better life at least from now on.
