Our girls will make an Olympic debut today in Wrestling and they seem to be quite determined to do well. If any of these girls bring a medal for India it will not only help the cause of Wrestling in India but it may turn out to be a big blessing for Haryana’s women suffering from social oppression and discrimination.
In RIO 2016 we surely were expecting to better that number, however as we are coming closer towards the business end of RIO 2016 I am wondering if number of medals is really important or broadening our overall base.
I hoped to celebrate I- Day eve in RIO 2016 in style but it wasn’t to be. This is what Olympics is all about and that is why it is the greatest sports stage globally. On a given day even the best can be beaten. Deepa scored better than Chinese, Korean and Uzbek gymnasts and all three of them were strong medal contenders.
