Well played India. Let's focus on the Bronze match. Best of Luck Team India (both Men & Women Team).

In continuation of my thought, I was saying that women or men hockey was covered with little importance, but cricket takes lot more space than all games combined. India needs to give equal importance to other games to flourish. India and China have almost comparable population, but Chinese are not crazy for cricket (as it takes major time for the entire India when the matches are taking place), and they have given much superior performance in the Olympic, but in comparison India performance was dismal. We need to encourage other games and our players equally like cricket (maybe even more).

说下我的想法，无论男女曲棍球队都不重要，板球所占的资源比其他运动加起来都要多。印度需要给予其他运动同等的重视才能强大起来。印度和中国的人口几乎相当，而中国人对板球并不疯狂，他们在奥运会上的表现要好得多，而相比之下印度的表现令人沮丧。我们需要鼓励其他运动的发展。

Indian team played bravely and my salutatios to them. I however realize that so long people will be crazy for "Cricket" perhaps India will not be able to flourish other games.. You can see the news

印度队打得很勇敢，我向她们致敬。不过我觉得印度人疯“板球”太久了，也许印度其他项目无法发展起来

From a 12 pace in the previous olympics to a 3 or 4 th place, ii would say thats a massive improvement. It was always going to be a tough match, but the women have done themselves proud with a good performance. The higher ranked teams have lived up to their reputation and have rightfully earned their place in the final. All the best to them, may the best team win.

从上届奥运会的第12名升至现在的第3或第4名，我认为这是一个巨大的进步。接下来会是一场艰苦的比赛，为印度女队的出色表现感到自豪。排名较高的球队发挥出了自己的水平，在决赛中理所当然地赢得了一席之地。祝她们一切顺利，愿最优秀的球队获胜。

Hard luck Ladies,,,,, any way try for Bronze..... What a hard fought match, Argentina was shivering up to 2 nd half...... Indian Gals are slowly there , 2024 Paris , we can knock down Gooras.

运气不好啊，还是努力争铜牌吧。这是一场多么艰苦的比赛，阿根廷在下半场一直在发抖。2024年的巴黎，我们可以打败古拉斯。

No Name

It's ok, was expected. It's going to be hard against Brits too, give your best.

没关系，这是意料之中的。对阵英国队也会很艰难，尽力比赛就行

Raghurama

india has consistently failed to win olympic medals due primarily to : (1) sportspersons are often selected only on the basis of caste, region, religion, recommendation, bribe and so on (2) public servants in the sports ministry right from the minister onwards downbelow behave as the masters and not servants of sportspersons (3) sports infrastructure in india is the poorest in the world

印度一直未能拿到奥运奖牌，主要原因有：

1、挑选运动员，看得是种姓制度、地区、宗教和贿赂等等

2、印度体育部从上到下不是为运动员服务的

3、印度体育基础设施在全世界是最差的

Ajay Sharma

How many times you have given bribe bhai

兄弟，你行贿了多少次啊

Indians lack endurance, stamina, fitness and more over proper international professional coaches. Indian coaches are totally useless. India is not a sporting country. 1.plus population and they cannot produce good professional athletes. It's a big shame on them. India's sports minister is a laughing matter. The clown has no knowledge about sports.

印度人缺乏耐力，缺乏国际专业教练。印度教练一点用都没有。印度不是一个体育大国。

无法培养出优秀的职业运动员。这是印度的一大耻辱。印度体育部长是个笑料。这个小丑对体育一无所知。
