Opinion
Guys, World Boxing Championship is going on in Italy. Haryanvi lad Jai Bhagwan has made it in Pre-quarter of 60 Kg while Akhil is out of tournament due to wrist Injury with Jitender, Manoj Kumar and Asian Champion Suranjay have lost their bouts. Nanao beat his opponent with 21-6 to make his way in to next round. Vijender is yet to come.
Indian footbal team winning Nehru Cup 09 in a spine chilling match against Syria was just a treat to watch. Morever, Ambedkar Stadum was full packed. A good sign for over all sports. Coming Common wealth games would help more for underlooked sports.
Your opinions!
All the best to vijender.
Well, You might think it's a good time for Indian Sports but actually there are some very disappointing incidents that have taken place in the background.
Football----
Striker Sunil Chhetri was invited by a Second division club to play in England, which is quite an honor. I mean for a country like India where no one willing to pay a dime to watch soccer (except Goa,WestBengal,kerala). So coming to the point, Sunil was refused British work permit visa just because their law says 'to invite a player from overseas to play in such a league his/her country should have a FIFA ranking of not more than 70'. India is somewhere around 160 something.
Formula 1----
Vijay Mallya's owned team Force India put up its best ever performance. Securing a pole position and there after finishing on the podium. Force India scored 8 points courtesy to Italian Giancarlo Fisichella. Now, an old fart named MS Gill, shrugged off Mallya's bid to host Formula 1 race by saying "Formula 1 is not a sport". That left me flabbergasted and thinking if Chess and Golf could be classified as sport then why not F1?? What a tool he is. After screwing the national game Hockey he is now ruining F1's future in India. To me F1 surely does pump adrenaline, gives you goosebumps to see a car, which is not even knee high, at 0.3mach.
God, inject him some wisdom through his turban :thappad
We've gotta separate politics from sports if we want to excel. But unfortunately, no one is even bothered and things are standing still, people are happy watching cricket cricket and cricket.
I hate to see people like Suresh Kalmadi being chairman of Indian Olympic committee who has not even done any kind of sport in his life. Sharad Pawar, tosser doesn't even speak properly and control cricket. What a pity.
