Bhartwasis in Olympics

Here the festival of games is going to start. The Olympic games, which were held in the capital city of France, are ready to host athletes from 196 nations. These 196 countries will be represented by about 10,700 athletes in 32 games. Now it’s time to talk something about our Bharat and its players.

71.1) Indians in the Paris:

The Indian Olympic Committee is going to Paris with 118 athletes. The chef-de-mission of the Indian diaspora is the 2012 Olympic Games bronze medal winner, Gagan Narang. Gagan has replaced the female boxer and legend M.C. Marycom. She has denied it due to personal reasons. The Pursala Venkata Sindhu, popular as PV Sindhu and A. Sharath Kamal, will be our flag bearers. In the Olympics, the gold medal is very few for our players since the free India has been participating in this game. The first individual medal, which was bronze, was won by the great wrestler K D Jadhav in the year 1952, while the field hockey team won the gold medal in the 1948 Olympics. If we talk about the individual gold medals, we can count it on our fingertips. Only Abhinav Bindra (in shooting) and Neeraj Chopra (in javelin throw) have won the gold for India. Every country in the world sends its best players to the Olympics,  so Bharat is also doing so. Being an Indian, we expect that the color of the medals of our athletes will be golden color, and every athlete participating in the Olympics will come with hoisting our Tiranga. Especially we are hoping that Neeraj Chopra and his group will again come with gold. Our badminton team is currently playing very sincerely so we can also look for gold towards them. Players of other games, like wrestling, shooting, hockey, fencing, running, etc., will also make us proud.

71.2) History of Olympic Games:

The Olympic games are played mainly in two seasons i.e. summer and winter. Since the players and countries participating in the Winter Olympics are very few in number, the Summer Olympics is very famous among all the countries.  The summer Olympics was started in Athens, Greece, in the year 1896. Pierre de Coubertin is known as the father of the summer Olympics.  He made a very important contribution in starting these games. The 33^rd edition of the Olympic Games is to be held in Paris, will start on 26 July 2024, and will come to an end on 11 August 2024. This time, 32 games will be played, out of which 28 are core games (played in previous Olympics) while four new games, i.e. surfing, sport climbing, breaking, and skateboarding.  These games will be played in 329 events. The inauguration of the Paris Olympics will be held on the bank of the Sean River in Paris. 

71.3) Benefits of hosting these games:

When we see these games, a genuine question arises in our mind: Why does any country want to host these games? The host country faced an economic problem after the games came to an end. But why does every big nation want to host it?
The reason behind the hosting is that the country represents the whole world at that time. Also, the chances of tourism, FDI inflow, and sponsors also show interest in that country. The gaming culture among the youth of that country rises very sharply, and the country gets funding easily from many countries and organizations.

71.4) Conclusion:

The world is running on hopes and expectations. These hopes always run in the minds of those people who have a little bit of interest in any type of game. We, the Indians, were always a great supporter of promoting and playing the games. We have great expectations with our athletes participating in games like javelin throw, badminton, field hockey, chess, tennis, table tennis, marathon, cycling, weightlifting,  boxing, etc. The 118  players participating are not only representing their town or city, but they are representing Bharat on such a big stage. We must have to support every Indian player participating in any game. And the cheers of INDIA …..INDIA  never be stopped.
