I firmly believe that its very critical to infuse professionalism into Indian sports. I used to feel like throwing the TV down , when i see 17 officials ( Age rage : 45-95 , Hair color - Jet black-courtesy Godrej Hairdye) in oversized suits/Blazers accompanying one sportsperson , doing timepass squeezing their head inside the frame of the TV camera ... all splashing my tax money. :x I somehow feel that the sports scene in India is screwed up by the sports administrators.

At the outset India is proving to the world in all spheres barring Sports which would not be the case in the coming future. With such brilliant exhibition to count on from 2008 Olympics, we are moving ahead to build a Sports driven nation. Excellent story with facts and motivation.

India once relied on their men’s hockey team for success but the eight-times champions failed to qualify this time. I still remember dad telling me about the 1952 Helsinki Games, that was the only Time we pegged two medals one for Hockey team (obviously Men's) and one bronze for freestyle wrestler Sushil Kumar . Indian team won their first solo gold medal through rifle shooter Abhinav Bindra, plus bronze for freestyle wrestler Sushil Kumar and middleweight boxer Vijender Kumar. - hatric! :) http://healthcareindia-drruchibhatt.blogspot.com/ Athletes are not so sure, saying poor coaching, bad organization and a lack of money will continue to hold India back. “I’m very happy we have three individual medals and that too without hockey,” .
