yeah .. Brilliant job .. For that you can posted in lower case words sentence with color code know that will give the happiness :) .. Instead of full caps itz looking odd :( .. Yeah i to know you know all the rules of our forum that why requesting you in a friendly manner instead of Report :) ..
 
Congrats to Saakshi for getting Bronze medal...
But as worlds second populous country we are struggling for getting a single medal while infamous small nations are getting gold medals...
I dont think its time to celebrate rather but we should feel ashamed for struggling for a single medal...
Frnds I am not commenting on hard works of Saakshi but if our system gives proper attention to other sports too I am damn sure she must have got Gold medal...
I think our Indian Govt should pay attention to other sports also after this..

Ur view is correct to some extent
If we eliminate politics from sports then we can also complete with other countries like GBR, china or USA at Olympic level. Proper planning and execution of those plan is very much necessary.Only a SAI (sports authority of India) can't help it out. We , the common people, have to give equal respect to all sports like What we do with Cricket. A dedicated team is necessary to guide the athelete consisting of ex olympian like PT Usha, K.Maleshwari, R.S.Rathod, A.Bindra etc etc.
and last thing, Indian Govt must build up proper infrastructure for 2020 Tokio Olympic to gain double digit no at medal tally
 
d solution to this problem is simple:

Put in more money, so that d sport becomes lucrative for masses !! :k

More d money, higher no. of ppl will try their hands at the sport, higher d probability of better talents emerging out of vaster pool of ppl playing that sport :k
