RIO 2016 – Day 5

Shobha De may not agree with me but overall it was a good day for India at RIO yesterday! Some energetic performances by Indian were the most suitable tributes to Ms DE’s views about Indian Olympians

RIO 2016 – Day 4

Am I completely heartbroken for no Indian medal till now, like thousands of other Indians reacting on social media? No, not at all! I firmly believe that every athlete qualifying for Olympics is already a champion and all of them at the Olympic stage are same

RIO 2016 – Day 3

Sunday was dominated by Indian sportswomen at RIO with mixed performances. The most disappointing was Heena’s pistol shooting. She didn’t use her London experience to stay calm and confident.

RIO 2016 – Day 2

After so much of excitement, Day 1 events were disheartening for any India fan. I expected shooters to be in the medals but I guess lack of experience and pressure of performance did in.

RIO 2016 – Day 1

Opening ceremony of every Olympics is always an interesting mix of host culture, history along with the energy and colors of all participating nations. It is something to look forward to and that is the reason opening ceremony tickets are always most expensive.

Do our Olympic stars really need goodwill ambassadors to support them?

Olympic is a very special platform and our athletes work very hard to emerge as a winner and we must celebrate that occasion by keeping them in the center and not steal the moment from them. Having been to London games, I feel we don’t need any Bollywood star, cricketer or any other celebrity to make the occasion special. That platform belongs to our athletes and let them be the king of the ring and create their own star power through their success and failures.
