Well, everyone who can afford the training to get to the top does. -
Top Olympic Athletes in Canada get $13,000/yr from the government...that's it. India can't afford this for the most elite castes? Not to mention how far $13,000 goes in India...
That's nothing in Canada."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It's not just money, it's also the mindset of the people with the opportunity. Which will take far, far longer to change. Maybe it will take an entire cultural cycle before that change can occur.Originally posted by Asher

Other asian countries have similiar mindsets wrt money and opportunity. I would think there's some Indians who have exceptional talent in a sport who'd be willing. At the least the ones who are already involved in said sport.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

You'd at least think India could find someone of Indian descent that has lived in the US for their whole life that would be competitive, ala that "German" Chris Kaman. Raj Bhavsar, is he of Indian descent?Comment

India won't dominate until they complete their secret program to breed extra Y chromosomes into all their female athletes.....If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.Comment

Yeah India is terribly behind in Sports except from Cricket. Cricket is the most top reason for that, nobody wants to send their children to make career in other sport because only cricket will give them more money and all. sports at ptv-sports.pkLast edited by noor100; March 1, 2014, 03:03.Comment

Canadians beat Americans in hockey again though.

So, having partaken in 23 Olympics since 1900, India has accumulated a grand total of 26 medals. Ethiopia has 45. North Korea has 49. Jamaica has 67. Bulgaria has 220.
So you can be piss poor and still bring in medals.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment
