5 Reasons why we should not expect India to win a Medal
CORRUPT SYSTEM
Most of the sport associations in India have a politician in top management. Irrespective of whether they have any connection to sports or not, they would have a say in the matters. This leads to corruption.
This was clearly evident from one of Dutee Chand’s flight incidents, where she travelled to Rio along with a few officials. While the officials got themselves business class tickets, they booked only an economy class ticket for the athlete. It was a thirty six hour flight and it took 3 to 4 days to get her body back on track. This was crucial time lost and prevented her performing at her best. Had she performed close to her personal best she would’ve been qualified. I don’t care if manager gets a better seat or not, but as an athlete it is imperative that they are well taken care of. We should demand more transparency in the functioning of these associations.
