India has only won 35 medals in all the Olympic Games it has participated in since 1900. In the last five Olympics, India has managed to win 19 medals and only two golds.Why is it that we don't have a world-class Basketball team from the one billion plus Indians? Why is Hockey dying in India? Are we destined for mediocrity and should accept it and move on?While the debate and embarrassment exist for a few weeks after every Games, it vaporises into thin air soon except for the school essays and college debates.We need to support our athletes more consistently and we need to do so by following sport consistently. Of course, the Olympics are special, but till we start giving sport some attention throughout the year, there will be little reason for us to celebrate.Let's give sports a chance.The Bridge is here to bring about a change in the sports ecosystem and most importantly, a change in you. We have a billion people in this country; it is just the matter of identifying the right talent and training them. The change can't come alone.A start has been made and there is a glimmer of a hope to change the script that has starved Indian sports for so long. The signs are positive.Visit: www.thebridge.in
