Short Essay on India's performance in Olympics
India has been participating in the Olympics since 1900. It has shown some magnificent performance in Hockey at the Olympics.
India bagged 6 gold medals in Hockey from 1928 to 1956 an achievement which has yet to be beaten. They won the gold medal at the 1964 and 1980 Olympics as well.
In all India has won eight gold medals in hockey. However despite this wonderful show in hockey, India has been unable to garner any notable success in individual sports. When a country that boasts of a population of more than a billion is unable to secure even one gold medal in individual sports at the Olympics it is a matter of concern. India has won just six medals, none of them gold in individual sports.
India won a bronze medal in wrestling at the 1952 Summer Olympics, 2 silver medals at their debut Olympics in the Men’s 200m and the 200m hurdles, and one silver medal in the Shooting event in the 2004 Games. India has one bronze medal in lawn tennis and one bronze medal in Women’s Weightlifting.
There has to be a reason for the dismal performance of Indian athletes at the Olympics but the truth is that the reasons provided by Indian sporting officials are pathetic. Officials say that lack of proper facilities is the key reason. It is true that many Indians, especially those who live in the rural areas are not privy to synthetic tracks, trained coaches or sports equipment. It is also true that not all of India’s billion people are involved in organized sport.
However that cannot be accounted for our sad performance, especially when, this number is still more than the people of Mozambique and the Bahamas, and these countries have managed to win gold medals. True, India has inadequate facilities but that is hardly an excuse either.
