India competed at the 2016 summer
Olympics in Rio De Janeiro , Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016.
INDIA returned with a silver and a bronze from the Olympic Games in Rio, both achieved with barely three days left for the competition to end. But not many recall that the contingent could have claimed a medal on just the second day of the competition.
India should field more make an effort to field more women and give them better access to trainers and facilities.
India also needs to end its culture of privilege and deference to masters at events. The athletes that got the most attention and funding at this Olympics were those that were well known from previous events, even though, as older athletes, they did not have the advantages of youth that lesser known ones had. Yet many of these athletes have egos that have caused problems.
