Abhinav Bindra Has Won Gold Medal For India.. Hats Off To Him... Why is that our Indians find it more difficult to win in Olympics??? Are they not trained properly??? Are they not encouraged properly???? We Indians show much interest in Cricket and they get more attention.. Can this be a reason????

Hey I am not blaming cricket. I am just saying about the people. They just think that Cricket is the only game and keep encouraging that leaving the others. Thats what I am trying to say.

Training may be an issue as in time, coach and his/her capabilities, equipment, facilities, and money for it. There may be many type of sports that Indians may not have interest in. The succeeding countries have either government (namely China) or private company (namely US) sponsors to allow their athletes to make around the clock training their sole responsibility without worry about finances. It may not be such a priority for India.

Our government can pay attention to them. Are they doing it actually? I don't think so. How many of us know Abinav Bindra before getting gold medal. But in cricket, even if India loses someone will get name in that match also. This is a fact. I am not against cricket.

We should be really proud of Abhinav Bindra. Winning a gold medal is indeed a great achievement. I guess sports in India other than Hockey and Cricket are not well funded. If the government takes some interest and allocates some more funds for the other sports, it will improve. More over the media should try helping too. Cricket is hyped so much. Others sports should also be considered.

ya i do agree with u... Every person should need some sort of encouragement to win... Read one article about hockey Vs Cricket... It was stated that people in Cricket can easily get names even if the team as a whole wins or loses.. But in hockey its not like tat.. I couldn post the link actually.. It was really good...
