P.S. time to close this thread. This is old news.

Sad to see most people (not necessarily on forum) ranting like cry babies. Stop whining and do something to change the system. Encourage your kids to become professional athletes. Rs 1 crore for one Olympic medal is incentive enough. Time to be positive.

Medal tally has gone up from 1 in 1996, 2000 and 2004 to 6 in 2012. That is significant. I think we will do better.

Ok I agree but dose those guy get chance to participate.
Well I was talking about Indian Olympic team .

On the darker side, people still need 'connection' to become professional athlete.
