INDIA - 3 GOLD MEDALS - BEIJING OLYMPICS

Shooting Men's 10m Air Rifle Abhinav BINDRA - GOLD

Wrestling Men's Freestyle 66 kg Sushil KUMAR - BRONZE

Boxing Men's Middle (75kg) Vijender KUMAR - BRONZE



Yes INDIA found three Golds in the Beijing olympics.After A very long Gap Our Indians are Happy Too when the world is celebrating the OLYMPICS.Our Three Atheletes who won Medals In the Olympics are no less than Gold Medals that Other Countries have won,but is it right to compare them to a gold medal when the world atheletes have won medals up to 8.
Perhaps not but we indians are so happy that our medalists hve become the rose of garden.now onward every function,every meeting,every rally,every college/school functions will not start untill our roses.

So, the Olympics at its end with the host China china winning the most of the medal,though it has the home support,but what about USA,Britain and many other countries most of the countries hav won medals in this olympics.Small countries like Jamaica has won 7 medals overall.


But INDIAN's are very much satisfied with there 3 medals( only 1 Gold),Why this is so?
As soon the news of gold medal came to the country State govts. started pouring money on the atheletes,if one is offering 1 crore others are not below 5 lacs to offer.

But should we satisfy with these three medals?
Perhaps we are used to get satisfied very soon with small achivements( Surveys have also proved that Indians Are the most satisfied all over the world ).

Now when we see this keeping olympics games in eye we see that same rule applied to our athelets too.Most of our athelits advanced to the next level,but what happned no one made them to a medal ,because we are the most satisfied.

As soon our athelets advance to next stage ,height of their happiness becomes 100 times of their height,they start celebrating the victory,start showing proudiness ,thjey donot care for any one.But on the other side at the same time atheletes from other countries see their achivement asa a mile stone and try to perform even better the only reason is that they have differenct way of thinking and are down to earth people. It will be most painfull for me to cite the example of shooter Rajyavardan S Rathore,the silver medalist in Athens Olympics, he even didnt qualify for the next round .So, why did a person like him failed? This is only because after a medal if was given so much importance in the country , he became a celebrity over night .

Functions were organised in his honour , given national awards and its better not to talk about the money he got from many awards and prizes.
Ultimately what happned his attitude changed and if was much satisfied with his single medal and the result we saw in this olympics. He is not only the one india is full of this type of satisfied people.

Be it be Sexy Sania,Leander paes,Dhoni,ganguly or irfan pathan.In india every one who is appreciated is very much satisfied with the appreciation he/ she recives , but then what the use of such award ceremonies, prizes etc? Are they really hampering a sports persons growth ? Or the athelete himself is making a wall with these appreciation awards etc ? Ho india sports are not meant to be played but they are played only for getting govt jobs.
