Olympic hype in India.
As ever,the Indian media has gone overboard with their projections. Who is to blame? Is it the athletes? Is it the federations? Is it our photoshopping culture?
Athletes
Not one of them tells their true world ranking. Eg. Discus thrower Krishna Poonia. We know only from BBC that there are 8 people who have hurled the discus farther than her best this year.
Federations.
The less said the better. They couldn't control their tennis players and shooters. After permitting an intruder into the march past, now they are asking the IOC to explain.
Photoshopping culture.
Looking for the quick gain instead of the steady progress.
OK
