Besides sponsoring the Arcelor Hobit, Mittal paid millions of pounds for the Indian athletes a report suggests. One such athlete in the greco roman was hosted in the air by a jap and dropped like a ladoo. BC Compare it to the money India spends on its athletes. So, there is no crying shame that India came with four bronze medals. My only shock is that hockey team fared very badly. Indian hockey seems to have lost ground and there seems little hope on the horizon. Seeing them lose match after match, even one or two which they dominated and looked set for a win, they failed. It would need a Himalayan effort -- and money -- to bring Indian hockey back on the pedestal. Countries with no hockey legacy has progressed. I couldn't bear to see India go down to South Africa, a country that has taken to hockey very recently. I won't be surprised if the Indian team if beaten by the women finalists, The Netherlands and Argentina, particularly by the latter who, despite playing a good match, lost a heartbreaking final to the Dutch girls.
