Sushil Kumar rose to the expectations of a billion people. He has clinched a silver medal in 66Kg freestyle wrestling. With this India's medal score reaches a total of 6, which is still a record. Yeah thats the irony. A nation of 1.2 billion will have to carry this until the next Olympics. With USA bagging over a 100 medals and China near to 80, it is an utter ignominy for India. So who is to blame. The government? Who is always to busy doing nothing or gloating over puny successes. Or Media? Who is a cricketomanic. Or its ultimately us who do not want anything to prosper as cricket. Its high time we should respect, encourage and support other sports and for the government to incentivize sports through sports education, training, funding and media coverage.
