Olympics 2004

I have been following up Olympics for the first time, watching out for all the popular events at this grand sports celebration. It's thrilling and really inspiring to see the best of the world perform. India hasn't had great luck. Indian hockey in particular disappointed lot of fans back home. While Rathod brought some glory, all eyes are now glued at tomorrows long jump final in which Anju Bobby Geogre is participating. I sometimes wonder how China really dominated the tournament. Americans winning is still understandable - they all have enough money to nuture talent. It's high time Indian sports lovers look beyond cricket. I am optimistic about future of Indian atheletics and hockey. In 2012 we should rank in the top 20 countries. We can make difference by watching more of these sports and create awareness about it amoung our peers. I like Poll Vault event the best - it's really thrilling!
