Jamaica, an island country, has never lacked flying people.
Although the sports achievement is not equal to the total population of perfect positive correlation, generally speaking, almost all the top medals in the Olympic Games are populous countries. India, with a population of nearly1400 million, has not achieved satisfactory results in the international arena. From 1980 Moscow Olympic Games to 2020, India has only one Olympic gold medal ...

In the men's javelin final of track and field events in Tokyo Olympic Games, Indian player Niraj chopra won the championship, which ignited the enthusiasm of the Indian people. However, this success is also due to the accidental increase of venue problems, which cannot explain the rise of sports in India.
Then, with a population of1300 million, why is India's sports performance so lame?
"What's with the therapist?"
India is a very dynamic country by many indicators. The population structure is relatively young, most people have an optimistic attitude towards life, and movies often sing and dance when they disagree.

▲ It is a racial talent of Indians to be happy when you have nothing to do.
However, in sports, India's achievements are really lacking. So far, India has won 36 medals in the Olympic Games, including 10 gold medal. Of these 10 gold medals, 8 were won before 1980, and all of them were gold medals in hockey.
In other words, before this Olympic Games, India only won 1 Olympic gold medal in the past 40 years. The winner of this gold medal is Abhinav Bindra, an Indian 10 meter air rifle shooter. He won this precious gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

▲ In India, caste largely determines the trajectory of a person's fate.
Abhinav bindra, who was born in a Sikh family, is a typical example.
If you carefully examine Bindra's resume, you will find a sad fact. This hero who broke India's 40-year Olympic gold-free spell was not cultivated in India. Because the local training level and equipment can't meet the basic conditions of training an athlete, Bindra, a well-off family, was sent to Germany by his parents to receive professional shooting training since he was a child.
It is difficult for a rich man to have no money. Bindra's story reveals the most essential threshold of being an Indian athlete-having money.

Unlike many countries that engage in sports with the strength of the whole country, Indian officials have a very cold attitude towards competitive sports. P.T.Usha, an Indian track and field meritorious female athlete, once won 5 gold 1 bronze at the Asian Games in Jakarta, and is a legendary athlete in the country. In 2009, when Usha participated in the Indian Athletics Championship Open, she was shocked by the substandard accommodation provided by the Indian Sports Bureau (SAI). This strong female athlete burst into tears in front of the camera.
Afterwards, Bindra also voiced that this is not the proper way to treat national athletes.
