He is right. Isn’t he? Aren’t we over-celebrating these two medals?

We all are talking about how shameful it is and blaming it to government for not providing facilities? Then why we are raising our eyebrows when one foreign entity saying same things?

I don’t want anyone’s fierce flames on me. I am happy that we at least have 2 medals despite our players did not have great support and I appreciate it.

But come on, let’s face it. Two medals are definitely not enough and we are celebrating like we have won everything there was in Rio.

Piers Morgan is not wrong by the way and I am agree with him.

他是对的。不是吗?我们难道不是为了这两枚奖牌而过度庆祝吗?

我们不是都在谈论这有多丢脸，指责政府没有提供设施么?那么，当这种话从一个外国人嘴里说出来时，我们为什么要皱起眉头呢?

我不想任何人攻击我。我很高兴我们至少斩获了2块奖牌，尽管我们的运动员没有得到足够的支持，我很赞赏这两枚奖牌。

但是，让我们面对现实吧。两枚奖牌是绝对不够的，而我们庆祝得就好像我们已经在里约热内卢赢得了一切。

皮尔斯·摩根没有错，我同意他的观点。

…and here are some who thinks like me.

这里也有一些像我一样思考的人。

Sanket Rout, 2 decades in a de ocracy

I beg to differ and distance myself from most of my countrymen’s views. As a nation , we always had this twittering towards controversial issues involving our country on the social media. The worst part is our internet users showing overt hostility in contravening the opinion of others , not by logic but by incessant and “out of place” nationalism owing to our large presence on social media platforms.Piers Morgan must be sporting a smug smile on sticking to his point in the face of such an attack.

We should be celebrating Sakshi Malik’s and P.V. Sindhu’s achievements . It’s a good sign and is encouraging. But we shouldn’t be blinded by the glow of these medals to the point of not acknowledging the fact that our largest ever Olympic contingent brought home less medals than the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. We need to introspect what went wrong?? How come a population of 1.2 billion can’t sustain it’s players?? How come a small state like Tripura has produced a world class gymnast in Dipa Karmakar ?? How can Odisha produce sprinters, the likes of Dutee Chand and Srabani Nanda while a 190 million strong state of U.P. has almost no contribution to India’s medal hopes, leave alone tally. Our population seems a liability to outsiders and it is actually far from being an asset. Not unlike , we need to tap in all the resources at the right time and right amount to churn out world class sports persons.

我不敢苟同，也不敢与我大多数同胞的观点划清界限。作为一个国家，我们总是在社交媒体上对关乎我们国家的有争议的问题发表推文。最糟糕的是，由于我们在社交媒体平台上的大量存在，我们的网民在跟他人意见相左时表现出明显的敌意，这不是出于逻辑上的原因，而是出于“不恰当的”民族主义。皮尔斯·摩根在面对这样的攻击时坚持自己的观点，一定露出了得意的笑容。

我们应该庆祝马利克和辛杜的成就。这是一个好的迹象，也令人鼓舞。但我们不应该被这些奖牌的光辉所蒙蔽，不愿承认我们有史以来规模最大的奥运代表团带回的奖牌比2008年和2012年奥运会还要少。我们需要反思到底哪里出了问题??为什么12亿人口不能支持他们的运动员??为什么像特里普拉这样的小国家会在培养出迪帕卡玛卡这样世界级的体操运动员?奥里萨邦怎么培养出像杜迪昌德和斯拉巴尼南达这样的短跑选手?我们的人口对其他国家来说似乎是一种负担，实际上它远非一种资产。与一样，我们需要在合适的时间、合适的数量投入所有资源，才能培养出世界级的体育人才。

Question as answered…

What are your views on the recent series of tweets by Piers Morgan mocking India’s performance at Olympics?

United States

Contingent = 555

Gold medals = 46

Total 'losers' = 509

Population = 324 million

'looser' to population ratio = 1.5 per million

Great Britain

Contingent = 366

Gold medals = 27

Total 'losers' = 339

Population = 65 million

'looser' to population ratio = 5 per million

India

Contingent = 117

Gold medals = 0

Total 'losers' = 117

Population = 1.2 billion

'loser' to population ratio = 0.1 per million

Really embarrassing maths, this guy has been taught? Or is it his logic that's more embarrassing?

问题回答……

皮尔斯·摩根最近在推特上嘲笑印度在奥运会上的表现，你对此有何看法?

美国

参赛运动员= 555

金牌= 46

总的“未获奖牌者”= 509

人口= 3.24亿

“未获奖牌者”占人口比例=每百万人口1.5人

英国

参赛运动员= 366

金牌= 27枚

总的“未获奖牌者”= 339

人口= 6,500万

“未获奖牌者”占人口比例=每百万5人

印度

参赛运动员= 117

金牌= 0

总的“未获奖牌者”= 117

人口= 12亿

“未获奖牌者”占人口比例=千万分之一

这个数字令人尴尬，这家伙受过教育么?还是他的逻辑更令人尴尬?

Divyajyoti Mohapatra, Just curious

That’s right, we Indians are cheerful people, we enjoy every little happiness. We are happy that we received 2 medals at Rio.

But let’s not forget the fact that sports is one of the ignored things in our country. Every parents want their kid to become a doctor or an engineer. Who cares about sports? All we really care about is only cricket. But that’s not enough. Is there less talent in sports here than any other country? straight no!! Still these talented people are not given proper opportunity.

Its the Olympics !!! The greatest stage to showcase our talents. This is OP Jaisha - a two-time Asian Games bronze medal-wng long distance runner. She claimed that she could have died due to not providing any water or any energy drink for her in regular intervals.

没错，我们印度人都是快乐的人，我们享受着每一点快乐。我们很高兴在里约热内卢获得两枚奖牌。

但我们不要忘记，体育在我们国家是被忽视的事情之一。每个父母都希望他们的孩子成为医生或工程师。谁关心体育?我们真正关心的只是板球。但这还不够。这里的体育人才比其他任何国家少吗?当然不是! !然而，这些有才能的人并没有得到适当的机会。

这是奥运会!!!展示我们才华的最伟大的舞台。这是OP Jaisha——两届亚运会铜牌得主的长跑运动员。她说，因为赛程中每隔一段距离没有提供水或能量饮料，她差点就死了。

Is’nt it really shameful? We need to ask the question to ourselves and really DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !

这难道不可耻吗?我们需要问自己这个问题，并真正采取一些行动!
