Olympics 2008

Olympic 2008 made me sad. As an Indian, I do have reasons to be happy(we won our very First Gold!), yet I miss the spirit of Olympics where participating used to be no less than winning.

I would rather not say WHY i think winning was all that mattered in this Olympics, but Aqua has written an eye opening post about the hoax this Olympic was.

I am thrilled at the Indian gold and bronze and the third medal that would come. I am hopeful that the government goes beyond showering money on the medalists to actually investing some more in the infrastructure. They have won despite the system, not because of it.

That really was a shocker considering the Government played no role whatsoever in helping them win. Cricket is the only blessed sports in India. If we could use the pride of winning as an incentive to win, like our neighbors, we would probably stand a better chance.
