Everyone is surprised to see the huge success of common wealth games. People, who were criticizing India a few days ago are now praising. What happened in 15-20 days, Miracle? Answer is no. For the event involving 54 countries and 71 teams, it’s not an easy task. India managed well and the performance from Indian athletes was brilliant which made this event a remarkable success.
Just 3 days before the opening ceremony there was criticism all around. In that intense environment organizing committee and the people working to make this event success were working hard. They made it for India. Everyone knew that there is massive corruption involved but the point was to save India’s pride. This event not only made India proud but it is historic for whole world with traditional and colorful opening and closing ceremony.
When media was busy in finding errors/faults in the arrangements made, our athletes were practicing hard to win medals and make our country shine. It’s just because of their enormous play India grabbed second position which is best ever performance by India in common wealth games. India not only performed well in those games in which they are known to do well but also clutched medals in events where no one dreamed of. Few events like relay race and gymnastics where even coaches were not sure up to what extent we could go. But we won gold. Hats off to our athletes.
This performance was result of tough training going on from past couple of years. Government encouraging sports and people taking interests was the key factor. This year’s Common wealth games gave new direction to the Indian sports. Indian athletes are star now. With making medal count at auspicious figure of 101 India is looking forward to new era of sports.
India promised and delivered. This sentence is on everyone’s mouth “Delhi ROCKED!!”
