you are exactly right if you look at that time line. We used to see clips where our athletes would come in 39 out of 40 contestants etc. People who laugh at us now don't know history and it is changing.
I'm a sports man. I love Sports. Wish India comes out in maximum events with flying colours. And when our National Anthem is on when an Indian Olympian acheive a medal. When our National Anthem is played goosebumps sensation travels through our spine to raise hairs up on our body. It creates an atmosphere of oneness. Stand still with eyes set on our tricolour fluttering high in the event.. This is India. Jai Hind. Bharat Mata ki Jai.❤
Hope you could have asked him more about Sports that we find India missing in and what are the plans to spread our wings in those Sports. I am looking at the variety of Sports that Great Britain Team is winning medals in and the breadth of their athletes.
Never mind imaginary Olympic medias but how many medals won ? , The desperation was seen with all the "Nakra" created in the Olympic disqualification of the female boxer , who tried to fight in the 50 Kg cateogory using 53 Kg strength, since in her natural 53 Kg cateogory she would not have got any medals,;
In case of medal prediction, he might be a genius for being this optimistic or smoking something we never tried before. But lets hope he is correct 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🏻🤧🤧
Shooting has already got one medal. Hope we get another tomorrow. But terribly disappointed at the performance of Archery. Hope we can match Tokyo-2020. India's trend in Olympics has been seesaw for last decade, Good in London, not so in Rio, again Good in Tokyo, so keeping finger crossed for Paris. 🤞. In coming years, we should explore water sports like swimming.
We are relatively young country in sporting arena. We had to re-build since independence and basic necessities took the front seat but now you will see exponential growth in sports.
The talk about lone hope or not winning medals on the athletes causes pressure on them India plans to apply for hosting the 2036 games with programs in swimming, cycling and other events which have more than 200 medals allocated. It takes decades for these programs to mature and making negative comments such as heart breaking, crashing, or bad news for losing out in the matches is not good for the future India needs about 300+ qualifiers to compete with China and so the losers in these matches will become future assistance coaches for the 2036 games The physical school teacher or PT has to look at weight and length of an infant babies reports made by the doctors at birth. If after 10 years of age you can seperate them to different sporting activities from about 10 crore kids in high school depending on weight and height at birth and develop the athletes from the grass roots China is 20 years ahead or more, which is not that important, but hosting makes a difference to the tourism economy, in addition to the countries image The important thing after the Olympic games in Paris is practice hot yoga at 32 deg C in your city like Mumbai or Kolkota and cooling down after training by sitting on a ice bucket, instead of just going to the gym which is not that effective for professional athletes because diet or coaching is not enough
1.4 billion and u r wishing for 10 medals ?I am an Indian South Asian .We should b embarrassed .We should have been among the top 5 in the medal Tally .If u r a patriot ,u should b listing 10 focus areas for hitting 25-30 medals by the next edition..
Agreed on doing a aftermath edition on improvement areas, great idea. But nothing to be embarrassed about we are a young nation in terms of Olympic sports.
Hold on till 11th of August! You might come back here to change this line, and your perspective, maybe! Let's keep a positive mindset and wish well to all our athletes who have worked so hard to get there. 🇮🇳
I have been seeing olympics for over 15 times, India has come a long way in winning medals..I am delighted really..😊😊😊
you are exactly right if you look at that time line. We used to see clips where our athletes would come in 39 out of 40 contestants etc. People who laugh at us now don't know history and it is changing.
That's a positive perspective I am looking to share and reflect. Having a hard time here with so much negativity around India's performance.
I'm a sports man. I love Sports. Wish India comes out in maximum events with flying colours. And when our National Anthem is on when an Indian Olympian acheive a medal.

We resonate with those feelings and also talked about in the podcast. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and we wish you well in your sport.
Very knowledgeable person❤
Indeed Mr.Rajaraman is very well versed sports journalist with 40 years of experience.
Nice Podcast. I realy enjoy learnign all these thing about sports.
Thanks you so much. Stay tuned for more meaningful conversations.
Sports and games should be given top priority at every level w/out any excuses
Indeed, its equally important as academics, if not more.
Hope you could have asked him more about Sports that we find India missing in and what are the plans to spread our wings in those Sports. I am looking at the variety of Sports that Great Britain Team is winning medals in and the breadth of their athletes.
Good point ! He did share an overview on increase in government spending on sports where India is lacking but a more in depth overview can be covered.

Very different worlds we live in.
In case of medal prediction, he might be a genius for being this optimistic or smoking something we never tried before. But lets hope he is correct 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🏻🤧🤧
Well everyone is entitled to an opinion and some opinion matter more than others based on their credibility, like Mr. Rajaraman in this case.
@@stayingindian nahh i was joking in sarcasm mate, hope his predictions comes true 🇮🇳🇮🇳

You are right. Let's hope for the best.
We will win 10medals❤❤
Yes we would, fingers crossed 🤞
Why India can't produce a talented athletics the country with billions of people small country's can do better what is problem

Thank you for highlighting the importance of positive support for athletes aiming for the 2036 games.
Kindly stop such kinds of excessive and unrealistic predictions about Olympics.
No harm in being optimistic but what is more realistic prediction ?
Ab kuch bolunga to vivaad ho jaega🤷🏻♂️

I don't have any faith in indian boxers.
Hold on till 11th of August!

1.4 billion population, few medals are just fluke and indicative of poor management and failure of whole system!
Nothing is born perfect, its always incremental efforts in right direction.
3 bronze medals alrready ,maximum 2more ,5 in total .10 is totally impossible
Yes but we were so close in many places.
Too much of expectations and i doubt if at all we get a gold
Let's keep a positive outlook and support our athletes
